University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Top Questions

I love the university and would recommend it to anyone. While I would've enjoyed more guidance during my freshman year, it was still a great experience.

Carolina is a great place. Constantly one of top Universities in just about every field of academics, sports, and social life. Definitely worth at least a visit. I guarantee, once you experience the Carolina Way, you won't want to go to school anywhere else.

Chapel Hill is a nurturing place for someone who leans left...

I love it. I came to UNC a bit skeptical of the student body (I thought they may be too preppy) and the academic stress (I thought it may be too difficult), but I got to know some great students and I found my passion in the education field and created my own niche here and I'm very happy with it. I also learned to accept I will not always make As at this school (sometimes not even Bs) and that those grades are OK and I need to figure out where my priorities lie and make sure that I do not become too stressed with my schoolwork because there is a lot of fun to have in college as well.

I love the college. I am so proud to be a part of UNC. OK, so I am a late bloomer, but that goes to show you how diverse the college is and what opportunities exist for many types of students. Hey---- I get to go to Washington DC for my internship, leaving in July---- how cool is that?

GO TAR HEELS!

Very hard as an out of state school- be prepared for a rough transition. People already come to school and it feels a lot like you are transfering

If you value being a big fish in a small pond, UNC's not for you. There are 16,000 undergraduates so if you expect to know everyone and have everyone know you, good luck. You will find all kinds of people here, so you're bound to find someone who you'll get along with. Academics are extremely difficult. If you got all As in high school with little effort, be prepared for a big change. Professors are nice, but aren't paid to give you As and Bs. Science majors basically have no life.

I did not want to go to UNC- it was too big and too close to home. Two months into my first year, I was in love with the school, and I still am. I adore so much about UNC- the students, the professors, the organizations, the sports teams, the championships, the campus, the education I have received, the shopping and eating on Franklin Street, the friends I have made- the list is endless. I honestly believe that if any naysayer gives UNC a chance, like I did, they too will find something- if not everything- to love.

Carolina has become my home... I can not imagine finding another school like it!!

Overall...I LOVE UNC. I'm a north Carolina native and I know many out of staters complain about it not being as exciting as their bigger more metropolitan states but they do love the shcool itself. So if you come you can enjoy, be smart in your decisions and you'll be sure to meet lots of people and have the opportunity for amazing experiences. But don't be fooled becuase people are always people--there will be racism and prejudice you may encounter from people, girls are still petty, people get into fights, boys can be creeps (figure out who the 'man whores' are and avoid) at times you may still feel like your in highschool just grown up but that's life and unavoidable so the pro outweighs the cons.

Carolina is such a special place and there is truly nothing like the experience that you get in coming here.

GO TO UNC!!! it will be the best, and most important, decision you ever make!

UNC is the best! I love it. I started out freshman year not knowing if it was the right fit for me, but as soon as I joined Alpha Phi Omega I made a ton of friends and knew that Chapel Hill was the perfect place for me.

UNC is awesome! I don't know anyone who doesn't love it! Two final words: Tyler Hansbrough.

If you want an easy degree, you could probably get it here by navigating the system well. If you want a small private liberal arts college experience, UNC probably isn't the place for you. If you're willing to put in a little extra work (on the organizing/admin side of your education) to make a challenging, rewarding, individualized program of study, UNC is probably the best place to do it.

CAMPUS DINING SUCKS. But it's worth putting up with for Tar Heel Heaven

Don't go here if you don't like frats and sororities.

I like spring here. Flowers. There's way too much cement, though. We ought to stick to grass in more instances, I think. More parking decks and less parking lots. More bikes, less cars. More trees. Good climbing ones. Have a nice day-
