Major: Biology (This Major's Salary over time)
I've been to other Universities and this place is ridiculously difficult. The most frequently taken classes ironically happen to be the worst. The sciences (biology) are outrageously difficult. There are some good teachers for non-science classes(Drama). Also the Spanish department is very strict as well. This school is more concerned about its US News ranking and profitability than it's students. So unless you were born a prodigy and everything comes naturally to you expect to get your butt kicked in any class.

The students are generally nice. However some are just trying to see how well you are doing in class. The classes are semi-competitive because the teachers make the courses so hard. Everyone is trying to make it into that top percentile so they won't fail, even if dumping the weak link in the study group is necessary. Also the teachers have no reservations about failing you. Yes there is a such thing as an F and UNC would be more than happy to give you as many as you desire. So welcome to UNC..it'll have you saying Academic Probation faster than Go Heels!
