Queens competes in NCAA Division I athletics as a member of the ASUN Conference. The university moved to Division I in 2022, so older descriptions of its former Division II affiliation do not describe its current overall competition level.
Varsity offerings include sports such as basketball, soccer, swimming and diving, and lacrosse. A broader list of sports associated with Queens also includes recreational and club activities; applicants should not assume every listed activity is a varsity team. Students interested in competing should check a sport's current roster, conference arrangements, and recruiting process, while those interested primarily in participation can ask about club, intramural, and fitness options.
Queens students can participate in organizations centered on academic interests, service, identity and culture, and the performing arts. Student government provides a route into campus decision-making, while student media and theater offer ways to write, produce, or perform outside class.
The university reports a student-run newspaper, theater group, and choral groups. Its student-organization roster and activity levels can change from year to year, so a prospective student seeking a particular club should check the current organizations directory rather than relying on an older list. Attending an activities fair or organization meeting can also clarify whether a group is active and open to new members.
Queens is a relatively small university, with reported enrollment of 1,599 students. That total encompasses more than one student pathway; the reported entering groups included 261 first-time degree-seeking undergraduates and 109 transfer-in undergraduates.
Most students are of traditional college age, but enrollment also includes adults in their late twenties and older. Geographic figures report substantial representation from both North Carolina and other U.S. states, so the student body is not drawn only from the Charlotte area. Reported enrollment includes students who identify as White, Hispanic or Latino, Black or African American, Asian, and multiracial, among other categories. These figures describe who enrolled; they do not, by themselves, establish what any individual student's campus experience will be.
Student life at Queens combines a residential campus with access to Charlotte. About 67% of students reportedly live on campus and 33% commute, so class schedules, events, and evening activities may feel different depending on where a student lives.
The reported student-to-faculty ratio is 6:1, though that institutional measure does not mean every course has six students or fewer. Outside class, students can take part in campus programming and use health and personal counseling services. First-year and transfer applicants may want to compare orientation and advising arrangements for their respective entry routes, especially if they will be balancing coursework with commuting or employment.
Everett Library is Queens' main campus library. It provides a place for individual study and academic research, and students can reserve study rooms.
Students should check the library's current catalog and research guides for access to books, journals, databases, and assistance with finding sources. Library hours may vary by term and should not be assumed to include round-the-clock study space. For a major research assignment, asking library staff about database access and materials beyond the campus collection can be more effective than searching the open web alone.
