University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Top Questions

The students tend to be preppy, but there is a large conservative sect at the school.

Basically.

nope. well, yes and no. there is a large greek population here but it's a 27,000 member student body so if fraternities and sororities aren't your thing you never have to go within 100 yards of frat court. UNC's diversity has become the thing i love most about this campus; the students here really range widely in just about every category imaginable. there are conservative kids but there are just as many liberal ones and we have every sort of demographic imaginable. it's like living in a new york without the rent and the traffic.

Probably about half and half....it's true enough to be a stereotype in the first place.

Yes

In some sororities and fraternities yes, but on the whole, no. Chapel Hill is a very down to earth place if you speak to people one on one. I'm prould to be a graduate of this prestigious university.

Yep!

The majority of the students at UNC are intelligent, and a minority do overrate their intelligence. The latter stereotype is mostly true.

to a certain extent, all stereotypes are. the duke rivalry is definitely palpable on campus. a lot of students to party a lot, but there are also students that don't party at all.

yes

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.

yes

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.

sometimes

yes

some but not all

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.
