University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Top Questions

This school has such a positive attitude and offers oppurtunities to get involved in more ways than anyone can imagine

The amount of school spirit.

I reiterate: UNC is amazing. Anyone who went there or goes there knows how lucky they are to be a Tarheel.

i honestly cant imagine being anywhere else. there is something in the air that one cant understand until they go there. it has a spirit that infects absolutely everyone. i love carolina with all of my heart and will be proudly wearing baby blue on my deathbed.

i attended another school before unc, but unc was always my dream school. i loved my experience there, even though i was older than the average student. i feel very privleged to have the opportunity to attend and graduate from unc. go heels!

Finally, I would just like to say that college is meant to be enjoyed. So, even if you are planning on becoming a neurosurgeon or are just wanting to coast through your freshman year not knowing exactly what you want to do with your life, you should definitely live by the following rule: Play as hard as you work. Even if you graduate Phi Beta Kappa with a 4.0 GPA having published a research paper, will it have been worth it if you don't have any memories that extend further than the doors of the library? College is of course about learning and challenging yourself academically, emotionally, and personally, but just remember, you'll never get these four years back. If you don't have fun now, then when will you? So, by all means I encourage you to go out, party, and meet people, but never lose sight of your goals or forget what it takes to accomplish them.

I love UNC, but seriously, be prepared to walk. a lot.

Here's part of the alma mater that you will learn, memorize, and hold dear for the rest of your life if you come to UNC: I'm a Tar Heel born, I'm a Tar Heel bred And when I die I'm a Tar Heel dead. So rah-rah, Carolina-lina, Rah-rah, Carolina-lina, Rah-rah, Carolina-lina, Go to Hell Duke!

A student coming here should expect to be in a very academic environment, which may seem kind of redundant, but I know that some people go to college just to get a good job whereas some people go for the life experiences...I would definitely say the university is definitely tailored for the former.

Take advantage of UNC-Chapel Hill's rich theater experience and attend some of the professional and student productions at Chapel Hill! The Center for Dramatic Art always hosts PlayMaker's Repertory Company, a company of professional actors that put on several plays per semester, and some of the extraordinarily talented student groups put on plays throughout the year, including Lab! and Pauper Players. Get involved! Try out! Go to the plays! And don't miss out on our amazing improv groups, including ChiPs, and our a cappella singers, including the Achordants, the ClefHangers, the Loreleis, Tarheel Voices, and Psalm 100!

I love being at UNC. I've never once regretted my decision to attend The University of North Carolina.

I think we have covered it all by now. UNC is by all means a great place full of opportunities. What you do with them is up to you, but the possibilities are limitless

UNC is the place to be!!

For those who are going to UNC: Do NOT BUY A FLEX PLAN. There is nothing you can buy on Flex that you can't buy with Expense, but you cannot get your money back out of the flex plan.

We live for UNC Basketball!

Save your money, go somewhere else.

I love this school. I moved away for 2 years after graduating and now I am back working for the hospital. It was difficult to move away the first time and I can imagine it will still be difficult the second time. I know people who live as far away as California and England coming back to revisit UNC. It is a special place with special people; and if you come here, I am sure you will create your own special Carolina experience.

BEST.PLACE.ON.EARTH.

I'm sure a lot of people have heard about the recent violence that shook our campus. The murder of Eve Carson came as a shock to all of us, especially those of us who were close friends. Perhaps the most shocking part about her death was that it happened here in Chapel Hill. I think it was really hard to recognize that violence can happen anywhere, even here in safe Chapel Hill. But the family that is this community has helped in the healing process. Chapel Hill truly is a safe place to live, and Eve's death has only made me realize how special this place is. It's a community she loved, and with good reason. I hope that people can consider Chapel Hill and not be afraid to come here because of her murder. Instead, I want new students with her enthusiasm and drive to come and make Chapel Hill the place she always envisioned.

This university stands by it's claims. The academics are challenging, the social opporunties endless, the campus historically beautiful, and the passion, loyalty, and pride that characterize the Carolina Way remains prominent in the student body.
