I grew up about 30 mins or so from Wingate, so I'm quite familiar with the area. Its kinda of secluded in its own way, in the little town of Wingate. There's not much around except for the school....Charlotte is about an hour down highway 74 depending on traffic. The campus is nice though...In high school we ran cross country meets out there. Union County is known for its "quaint" folk. 🙂
