University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Top Questions

This school has such a positive attitude and offers oppurtunities to get involved in more ways than anyone can imagine

The amount of school spirit.

I reiterate: UNC is amazing. Anyone who went there or goes there knows how lucky they are to be a Tarheel.

i honestly cant imagine being anywhere else. there is something in the air that one cant understand until they go there. it has a spirit that infects absolutely everyone. i love carolina with all of my heart and will be proudly wearing baby blue on my deathbed.

i attended another school before unc, but unc was always my dream school. i loved my experience there, even though i was older than the average student. i feel very privleged to have the opportunity to attend and graduate from unc. go heels!

Finally, I would just like to say that college is meant to be enjoyed. So, even if you are planning on becoming a neurosurgeon or are just wanting to coast through your freshman year not knowing exactly what you want to do with your life, you should definitely live by the following rule: Play as hard as you work. Even if you graduate Phi Beta Kappa with a 4.0 GPA having published a research paper, will it have been worth it if you don't have any memories that extend further than the doors of the library? College is of course about learning and challenging yourself academically, emotionally, and personally, but just remember, you'll never get these four years back. If you don't have fun now, then when will you? So, by all means I encourage you to go out, party, and meet people, but never lose sight of your goals or forget what it takes to accomplish them.

I love UNC, but seriously, be prepared to walk. a lot.

Here's part of the alma mater that you will learn, memorize, and hold dear for the rest of your life if you come to UNC: I'm a Tar Heel born, I'm a Tar Heel bred And when I die I'm a Tar Heel dead. So rah-rah, Carolina-lina, Rah-rah, Carolina-lina, Rah-rah, Carolina-lina, Go to Hell Duke!

A student coming here should expect to be in a very academic environment, which may seem kind of redundant, but I know that some people go to college just to get a good job whereas some people go for the life experiences...I would definitely say the university is definitely tailored for the former.

Take advantage of UNC-Chapel Hill's rich theater experience and attend some of the professional and student productions at Chapel Hill! The Center for Dramatic Art always hosts PlayMaker's Repertory Company, a company of professional actors that put on several plays per semester, and some of the extraordinarily talented student groups put on plays throughout the year, including Lab! and Pauper Players. Get involved! Try out! Go to the plays! And don't miss out on our amazing improv groups, including ChiPs, and our a cappella singers, including the Achordants, the ClefHangers, the Loreleis, Tarheel Voices, and Psalm 100!
