Not a problem, great campus, great student body, great faculty that gave me the opportunity to learn and stretch my perspectives. I would highly recommend UNC to any student that has worked hard to achieve the foundation that will allow a student who is willing to work hard in college to excell.

The school is huge, people tend to hang out with their in-state high school friends so making friends is a bit tough at first. Most of the faculty as tops in their fields but hard to connect to (some were great). You are a number at this school and this is the part that the advertising is not honest about.

Not everyone here is supersmart and at times I wondered how in the world they got here. The school tries to represent the entire state of NC so some folks come from substandard high schools. If you are not in the honors program or have a lot of AP credit, you will be in HUGE classes the first two years which can be depressing. The science classes number in the 100's and labs are crowded.

If you are not into bigtime sports, the environment can be a bit tiresome. However, the school is so big, you can, with work, find a good number of people to be friends with.

I just want to inform the students who may think they are perfect for this school and be sadly disappointed. The prestige of Carolina is unbelievable, especially in NC. So what you here about it may not entirely be the truth and I think it is fair to let prospective students know this school is not what it seems. You will be treated as a number, as if you do not matter, and in all honesty, you don't matter to the administration here. If you are pre-med do not go to this school, the competition is too fierce for you to get a quality education in any popular science like bio or chem. These departments are ridiculously impersonal so spare yourself the heartbreak and go to a school that will focus on your success as a student and get the attention you need. Trust me you want to be treated like you matter more importantly you deserve it after the money you spend. Don't fall for all those organizations we offer either. What they don't tell you is most of our intro courses weed you out by being huge and cramming 3 classes into one. So you won't have time to enjoy these gems if you are studying like they make you at this school. At least not for your first 2 years. But there is a silver lining the people here are great, socially I have never felt more at home. So if you know what field you want to pursue...do yourself a favor and don't go to this school unless you don't mind giving that dream up and meeting great people in return.

Being from NC, perhaps I was expecting something close to heaven from the way everyone talked about it, and maybe this was the problem. There is sooo much racism, I'm a white female and I'm even disturbed by it. Everyone thinks they're god's gift to humanity, which is far from the truth. The campus is pretty, and the philosophy dept is good, but I'm transferring. Plus, people are are not interesting at all. Its next to impossible to get good seats at sports games.
The dorms kind of suck, even though the campus is pretty. Also, the weather is usually nice.
I feel like this school is just a huge diploma factory, and the problem is they refuse to admit it. They give off this aura of a tight-knit community but when you get here you realize it's nothing like that.
plus the parties kind of suck. everyone is always throwing up everywhere. ew. Fri, 10 Apr 2009 07:31:10 GMT http://www.studentsreview.com/NC/UNCCH_comments.html
