University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Top Questions

The real motto of the students is work hard play hard. The classes are tough and some of the professors are real hard asses but the weekends start on Thursdays. Any given night there are a lot of people hanging out on Franklin St. But as soon as Thursday hits that number doubles. The night life is amazing whether you prefer the frats, the bars, or the clubs theres something for everyone. We recently suffered the tragic loss of our student president, the campus came together so strongly that it was truly possible to see the "Carolina Family" that alumni and administrators are always talking about.

Way too much construction that takes too long to complete. A project that was started at the beginning of my junior year is still going on at the end of my senior and it looks like there is no progress

The best thing about UNC is the huge number of things you can get involved in. The reaction I get from most people I tell that I go to UNC is, " Wow, you must be an intelligent young lady." not too shabby if you ask me. Chapel Hill is most definitely a college town, without the college I doubt that the town would have a mall or a movie theater. There is a huge amount of school pride here, you can't walk across campus without seeing at least 9 or 10 people with Carolina blue on. The most recent controversy on campus was when our student body president was murdered at the beginning of our Spring semester, Eve Carson. The men were found and incarcerated.

While UNC is large, it is one of the best college towns in America, which has a small town feel due to the intimacy that peers are enables in the academic setting, as well as the social setting.

Advising is terrible. There are an awfully lot of people here. The campus is ridiculously large. People have a lot school spirit here; i didn't know what that was until i came. I stay in my room most of the time b/c everything is too far away. They should put a Franklin Street on South Campus; it'll give North Campus students a reason to come south. I remember freaking out because I couldn't find public safety to get a parking pass on the first day I was here. I couldn't park either, because I couldn't find a parking space (illegal or not) in which I could stop to look at my map. I.e. their sign is too small.

UNC is awesome with lots of types of people and lots of things to do. many people are ambitious and involved in many things. the frat/ southern belle/ concerned about money part is true. there are also a lot of very very smart people here that are hard to relate to. i love sport and the campus. some teachers are wonderful and some teachers make life hell. class is extremely hard. Advising sucks. its hard to come here and not be able to pursue your major because graduate programs are so hard to get into. its a fun school. there is tons of school pride. administration is not good. its a great college town but so many people are either super involved, too busy studying to hang out with. if you don't get involved its kind of hard to fit it.

The school is just right. It is such a beautiful campus and it is fabolous to walk around campus when going to and from classes esp during the warm summer days. And, how can you leave out, our basketball team and the support that comes along with them!! AMAZINGGG!

The best thing about UNC is the diversity of the student body and the beautiful campus. Within a few months here you can't help but completely fall in love with Chapel Hill. Students are laid back and very friendly and there is a wonderful aura surrounding the campus that comes from the happiness of students who attend UNC.

The best thing about UNC is the happiness of our campus. The school is not too big, not too small, but right in the middle..the perfect size. People are super excited & enthusiastic-sounding when I tell them I go to UNC. They comment that I must be really smart & must love the school. I spend most of my time on campus at my sorority house. Chapel Hill is one of the best college towns! Franklin St rocks. We have SO much school pride. Everyone is super proud to say they go to UNC & super proud to cheer for the Tar Heels. One thing unusual (in a good way) about UNC is that there is an incredibly good balance between academics & social life. I don't think it can be found at any other university. The biggest recent controversy on campus was the murder of Eve Carson. It really shook our campus up. The administration at UNC is very friendly and helpful. It's easy to set up meetings & get extra help. The most frequent student complaints are about registration.

UNC is a wonderful public university that has so much to offer. It is the definition of a college town with so many resources and so much to offer. UNC has so much school pride it is unbelievable. Athletics are huge, and everyone loves going here so much.

Unc is the most active, involved place i have ever experienced. If you are seaching for anything, you can find it here. If you have everything you desire, you can share it with others. Its the most amazing place on earth.

It is a big school, but when you come from a big city, it's easy to fit in. Things are a long walk, but most of the time, it's worth it. Franklin street has many great restaurants and stores. Everything can be in walking distance once you go to UNC. You take pride in knowing you have some of the best science and pre-professional programs. Graduate schools are also nationally ranked.

UNC is huge but it's easy to find your own smaller group where you feel more comfortable. I love the quad in the Spring time.

Campus is extremely diverse as far as lifestyles of students. I love walking by Fraternity Court and seeing boys in sperries then continue walking towards Carborro and seeing everyone in hemp sandals.

i am obsessed with carolina, but there are two things i would change: the ratio of guys to girls and the ratio of liberal professors to conservative professors.

UNC has an awesome bar and party scene. The campus is beautiful, and the vibe is great. The people are somewhat "Laguna Beach"-esque though, and uncultured. The campus is large and this makes getting things with advisors, etc more difficult. Getting any kind of paper work or red tape taken care of always ends up in a wild goose chase.

It is extremely fun to attend because of its diverse student body and great college town setting. The teachers love carolina as much as the students so there is a lot of excitement.

UNC is a great college town with great academics and a fun student life. There are tons of student organizations to get involved in, so there's no excuse for not having anything to do! School pride is awesome, especially during Basketball season. I'll always remember the times (good and bad) when our campus came together and you could really feel the Tarheels united in the Carolina Way, as Eve Carson used to call it. The bad times (the deaths of Eve Carson and other fellow students) and good (all the wonderful basketball memories, Fall Fest, and more!)!

UNC is a huge school and it can be hard to acclimate your freshman year. Getting involved in clubs helps to shrink UNC.

School pride is the first thing that comes to mind when i think of UNC. If you love the color of the sky carolina is the place to be. It is an endless wave of carolina blue every day. The college may seem big the first time you come here, as it was to me, but once you finally get settled in the college seems ten times smaller. The best thing about going here is there is always something going on, whether it be a huge school wide event or just something going on around the dorms. You will never be bored between studying and classes here at UNC.
