UNC is way overrated. I've been to three NC schools over the years. Finally transferred in to UNC to get "educated" from a great university. I should have remained at my former school. UNC has nothing on other NC schools. I'm sorry, but like any other college, there are pathetic research-oriented profs who care nothing about their studetns because they simply don't have time. This leaves an empty experience when no feedback or objective criticism is given regularly. You get a paper or test back with scribbled remarks and if you can't read the foreign language remarks they will not have time to explain. I took some classes in my field at ECU and it was TEN TIMES BETTER than this so-called Public Ivy League school. Whoa! If I'd only known…but it's too late to turn back again. Consider other schools first, not just the name UNC, by visiting the dept. you're interested in and auditing a class or two if you can. And…talk to a variety of people…not just PrincetonReview.com or US News.

You said you have been to three other UNC schools. My daughter got into Wilmington and Appalachian. I am disappointed with her not getting into Chapel Hill with over a 4.0 etc., but would like to know if you know anything about the schools I mentioned. Thank you!!
