University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Top Questions

The students are really involved in so many different activities and in giving to the community.

I love the school spirit you can ALWAYS find someone wearing something Carolina or the color. Outsiders looking in say we have an arrogance or an aire about us. I say it's just that Carolina Pride. People try to imitate us and duplicate us. it just CANNOT happen=)

The school spirit at UNC is the most intense of any school I considered. I also love the open-mindedness of the students and faculty. UNC is a very fun and loving community.

The atmosphere at Carolina is so unique. Whatever you're interested in, it will be available at Carolina or through the Chapel Hill community. Whether you're focused on academics, research, sports, volunteering, or leadership, opportunities will always present themselves to you.

Coming from out of state, I was worried that I wouldn't fit in because most students are from North Carolina, but I think that actually turned out to be a huge benefit compared to other schools I was considering (private schools in the Northeast). I not only got a great education and found an incredibly tight group of friends, I also got to know North Carolina well because most of the people I met grew up all over the state.

I really loved UNC, but I think for me it really helped to go to a different school the first 2 years (perhaps because I'm from Chapel Hill??). Still, there are things I think I missed out on because I transferred. Overall though, UNC has so many resources and so much opportunity to meet interesting, like-minded or unlike-minded people and really learn about the world and life, which is what college is all about.

The other schools that I considered were smaller and the students which they taliored to were much more limited then the liberal arts programs which are here.

Carolina is an amazing school, and I've cherished every moment I've spent on this beautiful campus. The students and faculty here are all passionate, enlightened, and forward-thinking people who exert a beneficial impact on the world each and every day. The sense of Tarheel pride and spirit is pervasive and contagious. All of my classes are engaging and challenging, and have prepared me for whatever career path I pursue and to be a responsible global citizen. At Carolina, I have grown immeasurably as a person, and I would never regret my choice of universities.
