For a school with a lot of hype attached to its name, UNCNot so brightBusiness - Management and Administration
For a school with a lot of hype attached to its name, UNC is one cataclysmic disappointment.
The faculty are arrogant and uninterested in their students or in teaching the subject matter at all. The courses are either: A.) so difficult they try to make you fail, or B.) so easy you wonder why this school is called a "Southern Public Ivy." But I think that the school gave itself that name. In addition, the Business school and other programs are notorious for not giving grades below a C so that their rankings remain high. The school is obviously very proud of their "diversity," as seen on every single thing they publish. However, there really is no real diversity here. Whites hang out with whites, blacks hang out with blacks, Asians hang out with Asians, and so on and so forth. The social scene, along with being severely segregated, is a bit lame. Greek life dominates too much of the student body and frats and sororities are notorious for coke use. Chapel-Hill also tries to make itself seem like a "college town" but its not. It isn't Athens, Georgia and this isn't UGA. The town hates the school and the tension between them is almost as bad as the tension between the whites and the blacks on campus.
