Statistical Analyzer:

I didn't really want to transfer to UNC, mainly because of its size, and I haven't been very happy here…I'm just trying to get that piece of paper at this point. The classes have been a pleasant surprise in terms of difficulty (particularly my English classes)—I expected to breeze through with no effort, since I originally went to Davidson, which is supposedly a much more academically rigorous school. Class size in my major has also been great—I haven't had more than 26 or 27 people in an English class. On the other hand, I am also pre-med, and my required science classes have been nightmarish—the stereotypical 200-person lecture hall, with very, very little opportunity for professorial help or even contact. So I guess it all depends on your department, and the level of your classes (introductory/general versus upper-level).

The students here haven't impressed me; I guess that's the major difference between here and Davidson. It's not that they're dumb, exactly—but they are definitely "typical" college kids: full of loud, adamant opinions with little factual backup (especially political opinions) (the liberals are the worst, and I AM a liberal); very Abercrombie and Fitch (with all that implies); strong sense of entitlement; into lots of drinking and being irritatingly rowdy (and I am not a teetotaller or anti-partying—I just don't like to impose myself on other people). Some of my judgements may come from the fact that I took a few years off to work, and at 24, am just older enough to be annoyed by ordinary college behavior. I think I would have felt the same at 18, though, honestly.

It takes a lot of effort to be more than just a warm body here, in both the academic and social arenas, so if you're shy or need a lot of attention or guidance, go to UNCA or someplace instead (just as strong academically, IMO, but about a tenth of the size).
