My goal in this comment isn't to discourage people who are right for carolina from coming to this school. 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.

questionWhat about if your from out of state? do you think it is to southern? is it difficult because almost 80% of the student body is from nc?
responseThe author did not talk about it being southern, many out of state colleges that are public have an in-state preference or body. In any case it doesn't affect review.
responseI'm in the Department of sociology and I want to become a good specialist, but the constant need to write essays drives me crazy. I decided that the best solution for me would be to use the cheapest essay writing service and I was not mistaken. Now I am completely immersed in research work and have good grades.
