The University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill

Overall a pretty solid university. The one complaint I would make is that the place is enveloped in bureaucratic bullcrap, but arent all large schools?. School work is challenging to hard, depending on your major, people overall are amiable, teachers vary, as there are several to choose from, the campus is beautiful pretty much year round, and the social life is amazing, yet might get you into trouble. If I had to suggest a school, this would be at the top of the list, but be prepared for college, this isnt high school anymore.

I was told that only people with an ax to grind write these reviews, so I am hoping to dispel the myth. Carolina completely changed my life, and I am so happy I chose to go there for my undergrad. I had plenty of interaction with professors who made me feel like I WAS at a small college--they knew my name, were interested in my life. I had a few large classes, yes, but for the most part, I was engaged in classes with less than 30 people. I took courses on every conceivable topic, meet the most intelligent and exciting people, and paid way less than Dookies for the same education. I take that back. Our education was better. :) You meet people from every walk of life, and the way you approach your education really reflects the way you approach Carolina. If you want to evolve and become a more well-rounded person, it is easy as pie. If you want to sit in your room and whine, you can do that, too. Either way, you will leave Chapel Hill a differene person. It, much like anything else, isn't for everyone, but if it is, I congratulate you on choosing the best public university in the country. It'll be a wonderful experience.
