University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Top Questions

Though I'm not sure how many people at the school are actually members of fraternities and sororities, the majority of them dress as if they are. For male students, salmon colored shorts, button up shirts and designer polos, and croakies abound. For female students, lots of leggings as pants and cowboy boots (at least that's been the trend this year). The school has a reputation of being overwhelmingly liberal, but that's rather exaggerated -- I'd say the majority of students are moderates, it's just that the extremely liberal minority is very vocal (certainly moreso than the conservative minority).

They are stuck up, really smart, all the girls are gorgeous, the classes are hard, basketball is GREAT!

According to many out of state students, there's not a lot of diversity at UNC. Also, I think many people who pay attention to the Carolina-Duke rivalry think that Duke is the more intellectual school while UNC puts a big focus on sports, especially basketball. There are also several stereotypes about girls at UNC - that they are all (or trying to be) thin, beautiful Southern belles who are primarily interested in getting their MRS degree. One positive stereotype is that UNC students are in general very happy and have a fierce loyalty to their school that one would be hard-pressed to find elsewhere.

One stereotype about UNC is that basketball is a way of life in Chapel Hill, and that the students are brilliant

UNC and its students could probably be stereotyped as rich and pretentious. It is also probably a thought that some people might have that even though the university is allegedly very diverse, it is not as diverse as it makes itself out to be.
