University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Top Questions

UNC-Chapel Hill is the only school that I have ever wanted to go to. I love everything about Chapel Hill. I love the small town feel of the surrounding city that offers mom and pop stores and many local restaurants. I love that the whole town is involved with Chapel Hill sports, and everyone here bleeds Carolina blue. I love walking through campus on any given day and seeing so many Carolina blue t-shirts that show that our school means something to each and every person that sets for on its campus. I love the traditions of sipping from the Old Well before each semester to ensure that you get all A's. I love knowing that UNC means University of National Champions because that is what my school is. Whether on the court or in the classroom, I am surrounded by the best of the best. When I tell people I go to UNC-Chapel Hill, they never have to ask me where that is because they know all about the traditions of this notorious college.There's nothing better than being surrounded by the best students and athletes on a beautiful spring day out on the quad. God made the sky Carolina blue, and my fellow Tar Heels make the campus Carolina blue each and every day to show their support for such an amazing college.

Chapel Hill is beautiful. Whether its a sunny, carolina-blue-sky afternoon or a quiet overcast morning, it's hard not to fall for the gorgeous campus. The other thing is the people. You get a group of friends and suddenly you meet someone because you know someone and the campus seems so small. Then you can go to the library and not see one person you know, and you realize how huge the school actually is. The student body is so diverse, but so friendly. It's like everyone loves UNC so much that it's hard not to love your fellow students, too.

It is true that Chapel Hill, NC is a little of southern piece of heaven. My favorite thing about this school is the fact that everyone seems to exemplify what it means to have southern hospitality. Whether in state or out of state, everyone is super friendly and open to meeting new people, which also reflected into the town of Chapel Hill. Although we may seem like a large school, with almost 30,000 student, southern hospitality creates a warm safe environment, that almost feels like home!

UNC is by-far, one of the best schools in the nation. This is academically, socially, and with sports. People get excited and proud when I tell them of my attendance so this prestigious university. One moment I will never forget is winning the National Championship in basketball my freshmen year and rushing Franklin St with all of my fellow Tarheels. It was an amazing experience!

There aren't many bad things to say about UNC. An undergraduate degree from UNC holds prestigious value, yet this top-tier education comes at a public-school cost. In terms of value, UNC is the way to go to get the most bang for your buck! UNC's campus is absolutely gorgeous. It is the quintessential college campus. On nice days, there are always students reading or playing frisbee on the quad. Chapel Hill is a total college town. Everyone here has so much Tarheel pride...the town literally bleeds Carolina blue. We all take pride in our school and our sports teams. We take pride in upholding the "Carolina Way." Franklin Street is the main street in Chapel Hill and is located right next to campus. It is the place college students go to grab a bite to eat, head to a bar on the weekends, do a bit of shopping, and show off their costumes on Halloween. I was worried about the size of UNC coming into college. I wasn't necessarily the most outgoing person in high school and worried that I might get lost in the crowd. Now, I can't imagine going anywhere smaller! I love that there is always someone new to meet. At the same time, I can't help but run into dozens of people I know as I walk through campus. There is almost always at least one person I know in all of my classes when I walk in on the first day. It is truly the perfect size.

In my opinion, Chapel Hill is the ideal college town. Coming from a bustling suburban area outside the New York metropolitan region I am more than satisfied with what our town has to offer. Franklin Street is provides all you need from fine dining, to quick and cheap cheals; to shops for Carolina blue gear and souveniers; to high end boutiques. It's the perfect spot to bring visitors or family or a place to meet up with new and old friends! The town of Chapel Hill is small enough that I have never felt overwhelmed by the size and I have never gotten lost on campus. If you are looking to explore or need a city fix, Raleigh and Durham are not only a short drive, approximately twenty minutes away.

Never have I once regretted my decision to attend UNC. There are so many different types of people on campus, all with their own passions and interests. It is such an appealing mix of motivated students that there is always something new and interesting going on at UNC. The caliber of students accepted to UNC is what impresses me day by day. My years at Carolina have been the happiest of my life so far. Carolina is the perfect mix of challenging academics, top athletics programs, fun social activities and involved students. If you attend UNC, you'll be living the dream.

This is a fantastic university. I absolutely love UNC and believe it is the best school in the US. I love the global awareness of students and faculty alike.There are more than 90 study abroad opportunities, and plenty of grants and scholarships for independent study and travel abroad. Students are highly motivated here, to the point that every club (500+) and our government are entirely student-run. There is a highly academic culture at UNC, but students also know how to have fun! We have one of the best college towns in the States. Franklin Street has a ton of fun things to do. Our athletic department is also exemplary--you've never experienced basketball until you've been jumping up and down, surrounding by screaming fans, in the Dean Dome. In all, UNC is a fantastic place to live and go to school!

This school is very challenging but the teachers are also very willing to work with you.

UNC is absolutely AMAZING!! The smartest decision that I've made in my entire life is to enroll at UNC. The student quality is top notch, the professors are intimate and supportive, the sports teams are dominators, the tuition is the biggest bang for the buck, the student population is so diverse, the rankings are high, and the opportunities are endless! My favorite aspect of UNC is the relationships between students and the invisible tie that holds all of us together. There's something about seeing a fellow Tar Heel off-campus that gets you excited or seeing someone in the same organization as you on campus and getting excited. Then there's the incredible school spirit that students and alums share on Franklin St. after a big Tar Heel victory. The traditions are priceless and unique to UNC. They separate us from everyone else, and allow us to share a common love for our school. When I tell people that I attend UNC, most of them go into shock or get really excited or say that they're jealous and that it's amazing. So many people wish that they could be Tar Heels, so it's very humbling when you meet someone who is so excited and proud of you for making it into UNC. I spend most of my time in the Pit, in a library, and outside at a picnic table or sitting in Polk Place. I love finding new places to study, and the choices here are endless. If you want a school that has it all whether it's community service involvement, lots of student organizations, study abroad opportunities, rigorous courses, credible professors, high quality students, amazing, cutting-edge research opportunities, internships, competitive sports teams, or a ton of school spirit, then UNC is the place for you! It's rare that you find a school that encompasses all that UNC does! I'll never forget rushing Franklin St. after the 2009 National Championship win or the raves in the Pit and libraries! We are the University of National Champions! The worst thing about UNC is that they force you out after 4 years...they're so mean! :)
