Cape Fear Community College enrolls more than 23,000 students each year. While the main campus is located in downtown Wilmington, the college has several branches in Castle Hayne, Burgaw and Surf City. It is also popular for its sports teams, including the Wilmington Sea Dawgs and the Tobacco Road Basketball League. Its mascot, named Rayez, is a sea devil and its colors are blue and white.
The early 2000s also saw the university become a film location due to the amenities offered to Hollywood studios by the city of Wilmington.
