Carolina's campus and environment promotes learning in every aspect; from sitting on the quad on a sunny day, studying in the stacks of Davis Library on a rainy day, cheering on the TarHeels everyday, I wouldn't want to be any where else.

Trees. Uneven bricks. Grass. Sun. Corinthian columns. Franklin Street is like a college students' playground. Dorms are, too. And off-campus houses are basically on campus. Nothing is far enough away to drive to. But you wouldn't want to anyway. Winter is really, really cold. And that's coming from someone who grew up in Southern California. My favorite part about campus is when the first warm day in April hits and everyone is out in their sundresses and shorts and sandals. And pretty much everyone is in a good mood. That's the best.

The second I stepped on campus for the first time I knew I wanted to attend UNC-Chapel Hill. The feeling I got walking through the quad and seeing smiling students walking and talking with friends made me want to attend the university. The atmosphere is laid-back and relaxed and there is always something new going on throughout campus. The quads are shady and on nice days students sit with friends and socialize on the grass lawns. The old oak trees tower over the beautiful academic buildings and the Old Well is the most popular central landmark on campus.
