1) Being cheap--it's one of the best deals in the nation for what you get.
2) Carolina basketball! (Men's and women's; also women's soccer)
3) Being "liberal" within a conservative-side-of-moderate state--corrupting children with leftist ideas. ;o)
4) A great research hospital.
5) Lots of enthusiasm/pride.
6) High academic standards/lots of people going on to grad school and really neat careers
7) Franklin Street! The fun downtown strip of bars, restaurants, and other cool stuff where students from all of the Triangle come... and for Halloween, even from other states!

It is said that as long as the Davie Poplar stands, so will the university. Also, if you kiss your sweetheart at the bench underneath the tree, you will marry that person.

It is said that Davie Hall and other UNC buildings were built in preparation for wartime air raids, thus explaining their different architectural look.

Most people probably know of Carolina for its outstanding sports programs, most notably its basketball team. I mean, Michael Jordan, James Worthy, Dean Smith. The tradition is incredible. However, the students will tell you that the sports programs only compose a small part of Carolina. Of course, the academics are rigorous. The professors are all highly-regarded in their fields, and they challenge their students. There is also a special "feel" on campus that I cannot describe. Carolina feels like home. The beautiful campus with students on the lawn, a great town, and the best student body in the country!
