University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Top Questions

Honestly, I think it is somewhat true that people involved in Greek life are a little stuck up and consider themselves to be of higher class, but this is probably because most of them have a lot of money, however, there are some people I know in sororities or fraternities that are not like this at all. I don't necessarily think we have any more homosexual males at our school than any other college.

I think there are a significant number of conservatives at UNC, and it is not nearly as liberal as many universities. It is true that the diversity is relatively low, and I am not sure of the socioeconomic status of the students.

Somewhat. The girls are very good-looking, and there are a lot of them. The guys can be tools, but it depends on who you hang out with. UNC is big enough that you can find people like you, or people that are completely the opposite.

It is true that an unnerving number of girls here are very pretty. This, combined with the fact that there aren't a lot of guys (the student body is 62{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}) female, makes finding a date difficult sometimes. It is true that there is a fairly large homosexual population, but it's definitely not all the guys. As for the stuck-up stereotype, I've found that around campus people are pretty chill but we are a very good school academically, and UNC students aren't shy when reminding people at other schools about that. That's probably where the stereotype comes from.

For the most part, yes

Overall, yes. But you don't have to be preppy, wearing pearls and sperry's along with your Northface wearing friends who all go out to parties, and study a lot. You can most definitely find your own group of people. I believe that hte Greek system does isolate itself as, I, not a member- has very few great friends from that system but many acquaintances. Studying: there is a lot of this and libraries DO fill up around the heavier study times of the semester.

No. Yes, there are many preps and lots of students involved in Greek life, but there are just as many that aren't. You'll encounter just about every type of student at UNC.

yes

We are better, so it can't be a stereotype :) JUST KIDDING!! I do think there is a bit of truth to it.

definitely work hard, play hard (the students here are smart but also know how to relax and have a good time), some students are pretty fratty (only a percentage are actually in the greek system though), most students are not stuck up, the abundance of girls compared to guys used to be true but is now just a rumor, the stereotype that UNC fans are wine and cheese refers to the alumni who come late and leave early for games and this is true but I do not mind this since their money paid for all of the athletic facilities and many basketball games are late on weeknights. The school is actually pretty liberal but not as much as Cal Berkeley or other schools that pride themselves on being liberal (college in fact is a liberal experience).
