The school spirit is the absolute best thing about my school. Our school spirit bonds us despite anything that could be used to separate us. To us, it is honorable to be Tar Heel and even in our worst times of being infamous in news headlines, we uplift each other because the Tar Heel spirit can never be tainted.

The best thing about UNC Chapel Hill is the opportunity to be anything you want to be. There are a variety of opportunities that UNC Chapel Hill provides for students to live their dreams. Personally, the Psychology Department provides clubs, programs, and internships for Psychology majors to participate in.

UNC at Chapel Hill has so many activities and and opportunities for new students to meet other students. I feel that this is the most important thing about UNC because I believe developing people skills and relationships is one of the most important parts of going to a university. Finding a group you’re comfortable in and where you can further develop yourself is key to becoming a well rounded individual and UNC has numerous opportunities for everyone.

At the same time I think all the options of things to do on campus is amazing. What ever your hobbies are or what ever you enjoy doing there are options to do that at chapel hill.

UNC is unique in that it has the cosmopolitan feel, diversity and high academic standards of a private university despite being a public school. Few state schools draw students and top professors from around the country, but UNC manages to while keeping tuition at a moderate level. Though the majority of students are from North Carolina, it doesn't have a local college/high-school-part-two atmosphere that some state schools have. With that said, even with UNC's world-class programs, there is a strong community and despite many highly competitive graduate programs, students are friendly and open rather than cut-throat and solely focused on academics.

The amount of diversity and inclusivity it has. It allows for people to form their organizations and movements. It is rich with artistic and professional talent as well!
Casey
The sense of spirit and pride that comes from going here, the atmosphere of the town and school, great social scene.

The spirited sense of community is the best thing about UNC Chapel Hill. Even among thousands of students, you can feel like part of a close-knit family at Carolina. The relationships and connections made here will prove invaluable. Faculty, staff, and fellow students all help one another make the best of the great opportunities available at the university. My advice to any prospective student is to expect to make mistakes and have trouble adjusting to college. The best way to prepare yourself is to have support, and at UNC Chapel Hill that support is more than 28,000 strong!
