University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Top Questions

Slacker

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is not an institution for those who do not like big schools. In general classes, such as General Psychology, there may be more than 400 students in a class. The university is also not a place for students who do not like to walk. Although the bus system is reliable and incredibly helpful, there are some days a student may be running late and walking is the best option. For an average freshman, it will take them 15 minutes to walk from their dorm to the Pit.

Unfocused indidividuals and those who do not do well with working alone should not attend UNC-CH. It is easy to get lost in the crowd and it can be a bit overwhelming.

Someone who is not willing to stand up for themselves. Someone easily discouraged.

Someone who is very conservative or closed minded. UNC-Chapel Hill is a very diverse school, despite being considered a predominately white university. Also someone who isn't up for challenges and expects to "skate" through school. Classes aren't easy and your professors expect nothing but the best from you.

Someone who is interested in a smaller school or someone who wants a school in a certain location. It is about 3 hours from mountains and beaches but not too close. It is also not a large city nor an incredibly small town.

Someone who is not open to new ideas, spending time with people different from themselves, and trying new things.

If you are a very closed minded person, you will probably not get along with many of the students. Also, if you prefer all classes to be small, including popular ones like biology and psychology, then I would suggest going elsewhere to get more individual attention. You have to be motivated to succeed at Chapel Hill, so if you can not handle the workload, you should probably go elsewhere as well.

Honestly, such a huge variety of people attend UNC that there is not a specific "type" of person that should not attend. The community is vast and involved. People tend to be friendly and open-minded here, so every "stereotype" is accepted. People here are dedicated and motivated, but also have an incredible sense of having fun, so a person who is not willing to work would not fair well here, but a person who is all work and no play would not fair well here either.
