University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill accurate?

Mike

There are a lot of attractive girls and our basketball team is awesome.

Rachel

very often, yes

Lauren

for some yes, but overall not completely accurate. Carolina students are intelligent and involved, and the school is "preppier" than average, but most students are not the rich, snobby stereotype.

Jill

We do not have more gay people here. We have just as many gay people as any other University or College. THE DIFFERENCE: People are more comfortable "coming out" and being out here. They can hold hands, kiss, and go on dates with their partners more comfortably than on any other campus in North Carolina. It's great! There are tons of die-hard basketball fans, but I'm not one of them. I know plenty of friends who aren't fans either.

Robert

no, no, yes, and yes

Jerry

On the whole, these stereotypes do seem to reflect the general group of UNC students, but UNC has thousands of students per class and there will always be differences.

Torry

No, not at all.

Dale

They are preppy not stuck up.

tom

Somewhat.

Luke

In terms of the school stereotype, I'd say its pretty accurate. The stereotype regarding students is not accurate at all, the student body is large, diverse, and down to earth.
