University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Top Questions

Good at basketball. True...

Preppy and Fratty YES

I would say UNC students are stereotyped as liberal and progressive. However, I would say that this stereotype is fairly inaccurate because there are many conservatives among the student body and it doesn't seem like the campus is slanted in one way or the other.

A stereotype that a lot of other students from schools in North Carolina have about students at Chapel Hill is that were all nerds! They think that we like to stay in on weekends to study, and don't enjoy our sports and recreation. In fact, we do love to learn! But we also love to have fun, especially at our basketball games! Go Heels! "We have all kinds of people here at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill", and each one of us is unique. We have students who love to research, athletes who love to win, but most of all we have people in our community who want to make a difference, in North Carolina, in the United States, and in our world. While there are many cliques and stereotypes at UNC, we embrace these traits of one another, and love the diversity that drives us to be better people.

Some people think students at UNC are stuck up and snooty. This is not true for the common student. Every university has some students that think their school is better than all of the rest, but UNC does well to keep a polite attitude.

The stereotype at UNC is entitlement and Greek life, but this is not the case. UNC is a diverse school with many different subgroups on campus, and although the Greek scene is quite large at UNC, it is not the predominant factor of campus life.

I believe that our students are pegged as overachievers. As people who strive hard to accomplish their dreams and will associate themselves with other people and programs who do the same. 'Stereotype' has a negative connotation, I would not describe the caliber of our students with a 'stereotype', but as far as UNC-Chapel Hill, it is true.

UNC has a mix of different students. Since it is a liberal arts college it tends to attract a lot of kids that are interested in music and art. A large percent of the campus is Greek also, and there is some stereotype that it is a "preppy" school because of this. While both of these stereotypes are accurate to some degree, they do not sum up the campus as a whole.

Carolina students are usually stereotyped as smart, overachieving, and driven. I'd have to say that all the students at Carolina are smart. Some of us are overachievers, while others just do what they can to get by. Many students are involved in campus organizations and extracurricular activities. We like to be involved in what goes on around campus. I would also agree that we are a driven group of young people. I have met so many people in my time here that have inspired me to dream big, take chances, and hopefully make it happen.
