What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
I've learned to accept the differences in people and see the beauty in all types of people. The friendships built in college are invaluable because the people you meet and befriend are the ones that you will have to lean on and trust in when faced with adversity. The most important lesson I have learned thus far is the importance of getting involved. College is not the time to sit back and be shy or bored. You have to get out there because there is so much to do if you just look. Focus is the next important lesson I've learned. It's hard to make yourself do homework that mama's not going to check or go to class when role isn't going to be checked, but you're going to be paying too much money to get lazy. Remember that education is the reason that college exists and the rest is just icing on the cake. In a nutshell, college is important because of the knowledge you gain, the friends you make, and the lessons you learn. You know how they say college isn't for everybody? Don't believe the lies.

What are the academics like at your school?
The Academics are challenging, but the professors really care that their students learn and understand the material, (In my majors anyways) They are most always avaliable for help outside of class.
Participation in class is expected in all classes but a student rarely recieves any credit for it.
Students here are interested in many things. Many student are involved in several different extracurricular activites and do engage in intellectual converstations outside class, particularly about the enviornment.
When you leave UNC its unfortunate that most of the majors will not set you up to be prepared to send you straight into the job market. For the most part, further education is needed.

What is your overall opinion of this school?
The best thing about UNC-CH is it's wide range of extracurriculars. Student groups are generally well funded and supported, and they have definitely have equipped mwewith marketable job skills where UNC's academics have generally failed me, so don't waste your time studying while you could be taking advantage of things that can really help you...The school is big enough that you can avoid people you never want to see, although somehow everyone still seems to be interconnected. Nonetheless, you're bound to find people you get a long with...I usually try to avoid campus and hang out on franklin street because I think campus waay too crowded. I'm generally ok with crowds, just being around college kids all the time gets really annoying. More annyoing though are game days when parents and alumni invade the town...UNC seems so big and impersonal mostly because it is run by cyborgs - try talking to financial aid, the registrar, and/or academic advising - they are all obviously interconnected yet they don't communicate...I see so much carolina blue all over town it makes em want to puke. Much of the school pride revolves around athletics, so if you're not interested in them, you should probably go elsewhere (I wish I did on basketball game days)...I say most of my friends complain about "feeling like a number," and I can say that complaint is 80{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} valid.

What are the most popular student activities/groups?
The GLBT-SA is one of the largest, better funded groups on campus. We hold an annual weekend-long conference comprised workshops, performers, speakers that tackle intersections of identities and oppressions (homophobia, sexism, racism, classism, ableism) which draws hundreds of people from all over the country. The conservative groups on campus are actually also very active - the college republicans is basically a training ground for student government so they can control our funds. We have a laughably horrible (if it wasn't so stupid and hurtful) conservative magazine called the Carolina Review. The theatre scene is actually pretty great - there are several student run companies that do professional shows (I've been involved in several). The campus is so big, diverse and fragmented, it's hard to give answers to the other questions. I met my best friends through student groups and theatre. Franklin street has lots of mediocre bars and tons of terrific places to eat. Definitely take advantage of food on Franklin, there's anything from Vietnamese to Indian to Thai and lots and lots of Mexican. Franklin st. also have a movie theatre.

What is the stereotype of students at your school? Is this stereotype accurate?
This stereotype is definitely NOT true. UNC portrays diversity at its best. Every type of culture, race, religion, background, socioeconomic status, political view, etc.; you can find it here. We are the epitome of a melting pot. Despite our differences, we all come together and have the best college experience any student could ever ask for, and not only do we accept and respect our differences; we embrace these differences.

What's the most frustrating thing about your school?
While it can be refreshing to see brand new faces every day on your walk to class, at around 20,000 students, the size of the school can be overwhelming - and it exhausts the town's resources, with parking virtually nonexistant and Franklin St. beyond busy on weekends.

What kind of person should attend this school?
The lack of proper heating/cooling systems in the larger dorms, which coincidently is where underclassmen tend to live, is very frustrating. Some of the rooms have window units, but only roughly half, the others don?t have any sort of cooling system. The heating system consists of steam radiators. These are situated directly under the windows, so when there is a breeze outside, which thanks to improper sealing tends to blow in around the window, no heat ends up permeating the room. To make matters worse, the walls are concrete, which holds no heat.

Why did you decide to go to this school?
I was born and raised in North Carolina as a Tar Heel, but that wasn't the only reason I came to UNC-Chapel Hill. UNC is a prestigious university known for both its academics and its sports. I am an avid sports fan, but I also wanted to get a good education. UNC is the best of both worlds. Not only is it the perfect place for someone who loves sports and wants a good education but the campus is gorgeous. North Carolina weather is the best of everything. We get nice and hot summers to enjoy, then we move into the beautiful fall weather that is temperate and brings out all of the drastic colors of the leaves, we move into a chilly winter that only gives us short bouts of snow, and then we bring all of the pastels and bright pinks of the flowers with spring, which causes the students to litter the quad in an attempt to soak in as much of the beautiful weather as they can. I first visited UNC during the spring season, and I knew there was no other place I would be happy going to college.
