Yes, 82{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the population is in state students, but as an out of state student I had no problem making friends, and did not feel excluded due to the fact that I was not a NC native

The school does come alive during basketball season but that doesn't mean it's dead for the rest of the year. We love Roy's boys but UNC is a university first and a basketball team after that. As for the education, we have Nobel Prize winners and the man that invented capillary electrophoresis teaching classes every day so you can judge from there.

Preppy, yes carolina is a lifestyle and most students tend to dress preppy Stuck Up, carolina students are not stuck up, everyone is extremely nice, if you go to carolina it changes you and you know there is no place you'd rather be.

There are some of each of those types here, there are rich kids, sports fans, preppies, and over-intellectuals but we aren't all every single one of those. I don't consider myself to be any of those, and I'm staying here happily.

We are a very liberal school, but never have i seen a diverse campus such as this. We, the student body, are open to new ideas. We invite people with different thoughts so that we too may become worldly. Students are not snobby, there are students that are, but one could find that anywhere, it is best to come here open minded that stereotype a certain type of person due to their economic or socio background. We are very fortunate to have the best basketball team in the world, whether win or lose, the Tarheels are number 1! WE, are a party school, we have the p2p which are the ultimate safe-party buses and have very fun, sociable students that know how to have fun.

Not all students in the Greek life are preppy, there is a very diverse population. Most UNC students do love basketball. UNC students working hard and partying hard isn't accurate, it depends on the individual.
