University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Top Questions

Describe the students at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Devin

There is a plethora of clubs and organizations students can get involved in here. The students are arrogantly wealthy (generally speaking) and not afraid to show it. Most students are rather opinionated politically and otherwise but this seems typical for a college campus.

Jarvis

Fun group who love to hang out with one another. Lots of fraternities and soroities.

The student body at UNC is.... 1) divided - black and white students don't mix for the most part. If you stand outside of the Union, you'll quickly notice the clumps of black people and the clumps of white people. I don't necessarily think that you can force integration, but I do think it's important to realize that this lack of inclusiveness and intermingling is in large part due to a failure on both sides to reach out and extend themselves outside of their comfort zone. 2) liberal! Look at the size of UNC College Democrats compared to UNC College Republicans. It's amazing how many Obama signs I've seen across campus. 3) Diverse! We have people of all races, all majors, and all income levels at UNC.

Heather

The student body is VERY liberal. The average family income of a UNC student is over $100,000.

Jessica

There are all kinds of students here from every background imaginable. It is very diverse and thats what makes this university so great. There are some students who are very firm in their beliefs and argue with the pit preacher in the quad and there are some students who just like to relax and lay on a blanket reading a book soaking up the sun. No matter what type of student you are you can find your niche here in chapel hill.

Carolina's student population is very diverse. You can meet people from so many different backgrounds, ethnicities, and parts of the world. I have become more tolerant of diversity since starting school and have come to love hearing people's stories and learning about where they are from and the kinds of things they've done in their lives. There aren't any cliques that I've seen; everyone gets along with just about everyone else. A very large part of the student body is involved in a sorority or fraternity, and before rushing this spring, I definately felt a little left out of the Greek life since almost everyone I'd met was part of it.

Brandt

I don't know anything about the student body.

Andrew

very diverse in most things, however largely white population

John

Really diverse- love walking through the quad and pit and seeing all the different student causes

Jessica

The student body at UNC has so much variety. At my high school, there may have been 15 African American students and even fewer Asian students. Here there are so many people from every racial background! Coming to UNC has introduced me to such diversity and so many different cultures. Every week there is some kind of event to educate students about other countries and cultures.
