My family and I visited the campus because it was where my mother and father met while in graduate school in the late 1940's. We enjoyed seeing the places we had heard about all our lives- especially Hill Hall, the Chapel Hill cemetery, and the Forest Theater- a beautiful outdoor amphitheater. The arboretum is also dreamy. The administrative assistant who... More

You simply can't go wrong with UNC Chapel Hill. You get the most bang for your tuition buck, a great city, conveniently located (airport's not far at all), dorms are nice, classrooms are nice, everything is great at this school. When you have your pick of any school (including the Ivy League schools), and then you think about how much... More

UNC in Chapel Hill is one of the top rated universities in the country for state owned colleges and universities. It offers excellent study programs with graduates having few problems getting jobs. It also benefits from a very attractive campus.

Large! Many bikes for students to get around and I understand there are shuttles. The campus is always well maintained. Well groomed, buildings are taken care of. It is interesting to return after a while and look at something you remembered, and it has been replaced by something else or renovated into something totally different. There is alot of Carolina...

I didn't know that UNC is the oldest public university in the country. I started at the Visitor's Information Center, picked up a self-guided tour map, and set off on foot. The campus is simply wonderful. Architecture from the 1700s and 1800s abounds and blends with newer structures. The grounds are impeccably maintained with majestic ancient trees and beautiful flower... More

Can't imagine a better delivery of medical education and launching for a medical professional. Care, mentoring, education and community connections are world class. Leadership from medical school dean down to professors and residents is apparent. Grateful for its contribution to the health are community

Attended a highly informative information session. Chapel Hill looks like it is a very friendly typical American city that is slightly affluent and offers many restaurants.

I came here on a campus visit as a prospective student. The campus is amazing! I saw Duke too, and although the actual architecture at Duke is nicer, Chapel Hill feels so welcoming and livable. The people were very friendly and helpful. Overall, I very much enjoyed the visit, it was the highlight of my trip to North Carolina.

The minute you set foot on the campus of The University of North Carolina Chapel Hill you are captivated by the historic, colonial nature of the brick walkways leading through expansive green quads and unique landmarks. Nobody captured the essence of Carolina better than Charles Kuralt: “What is it that binds us to this place as to no other? It... More
