University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Top Questions

Something unique about Carolina is the diversity. No matter where you go, you find a diverse set of people with different backgrounds, different views, and different tastes. I've learned so much from just being around wonderful, diverse people.

There is a sense of unity unlike any other place I've been to. We are the TARHEELS. As a school, we band together to encourage and further everyone's experiences and passions. The way the curriculum is set up, you are pushed to your limit and expand your mind in ways you never knew you could before.

Carolina's atmosphere makes all it's students feel at home.

Chapel Hill has a very diverse student population. There are many activities and organizations you can get involved in on and around campus to make your college experience even better. Chapel Hill may seem like a large university, but it is all contained onto campus and very easy to navigate. I have had only 2 classes with more than 200 students, while all of my other classes were 30 or less. Chapel Hill students are a wonderful community to be around. Students are very open minded.

It's most definitely "the University of the People" (quoting Charles Kuralt) and is directed 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} toward each and every student as an individual. When I first stepped foot on UNC's campus, I felt like I could breathe easier somehow...like I could just let go and let my imagination and passions take control. The people I have met and the concepts I have learned will stay with me forever.

What is unique about UNC-Chapel Hill compared to other schools I considered is the size of the school. I grew up in a small rural community with a graduating classes of 84. UNC-Chapel Hill has class enrollments that are more than my entire high school popluation. I wanted to experience and enjoy the many diffent opportunties that a big college had to offer. Because there are so many different learning centers on my campus, there is no reason why anyone who attends UNC-Chapel Hill should fail their classes. I am glad I attend UNC-Chapel Hill.

My school is unique compared to others that I considered because it has a beautiful campus, it has an excellent academic program, and it has a student body unlike any other that I have been exposed to due to its motivation to excel in life's challenges. s

My school is extremely diverse. Coming from a minority school (mostly African-Americans), this was a new experience. UNC-CH helped me to become more diverse in my thoughts and taught me to become more open to other ideas (especially of another ethnic background.) This school prepares students to enter the work force prepared to deal with humans from all sorts of backgrounds. This aspect also teaches students to be able to work well with people from all over the world!

The most unique thing about my school is their school spirit and the field of study that I plan to major in. Everyone at th school has a since of pride for the school, they have so much spirit that they bleed their school's colors. Also the field of study that I plan to major has so many good opportunities and the professors in that department are so willing to help you succeed.

The Basketball team

The students are really involved in so many different activities and in giving to the community.

I love the school spirit you can ALWAYS find someone wearing something Carolina or the color. Outsiders looking in say we have an arrogance or an aire about us. I say it's just that Carolina Pride. People try to imitate us and duplicate us. it just CANNOT happen=)

The school spirit at UNC is the most intense of any school I considered. I also love the open-mindedness of the students and faculty. UNC is a very fun and loving community.

The atmosphere at Carolina is so unique. Whatever you're interested in, it will be available at Carolina or through the Chapel Hill community. Whether you're focused on academics, research, sports, volunteering, or leadership, opportunities will always present themselves to you.

- School spirit is phenomenal, cheaper, great academics

great sports great academics

Coming from out of state, I was worried that I wouldn't fit in because most students are from North Carolina, but I think that actually turned out to be a huge benefit compared to other schools I was considering (private schools in the Northeast). I not only got a great education and found an incredibly tight group of friends, I also got to know North Carolina well because most of the people I met grew up all over the state.

I really loved UNC, but I think for me it really helped to go to a different school the first 2 years (perhaps because I'm from Chapel Hill??). Still, there are things I think I missed out on because I transferred. Overall though, UNC has so many resources and so much opportunity to meet interesting, like-minded or unlike-minded people and really learn about the world and life, which is what college is all about.

The other schools that I considered were smaller and the students which they taliored to were much more limited then the liberal arts programs which are here.

Carolina is an amazing school, and I've cherished every moment I've spent on this beautiful campus. The students and faculty here are all passionate, enlightened, and forward-thinking people who exert a beneficial impact on the world each and every day. The sense of Tarheel pride and spirit is pervasive and contagious. All of my classes are engaging and challenging, and have prepared me for whatever career path I pursue and to be a responsible global citizen. At Carolina, I have grown immeasurably as a person, and I would never regret my choice of universities.
