Southern Comfort

Introduction
It is a difficult program but most of the people who get into UNC start off pretty smart so I mean it’s challenging but it’s not like overwhelming. In general it is a good school – it’s hard to get into – it’s very selective so most of the students who get in are top 10 percent of their class in high school so you get more of not necessarily the smarter people – but the people who academically challenge themselves more and put themselves out there so – it’s a bit higher.

Campus Life and Social Life
In the summer time its really quiet cause most of the college students are gone except for summer school so then you get really the small town – but chapel hill was built around the campus it seems so it caters a lot to the campus and what the students need and want and there’s lots of restaurants and stuff like that on Franklin Street for students. There’s lots of different activities- you can just walk through the pit and see things being advertised and activities that are going on that have nothing to do with Greek life and while there are lots of people involved in Greek life not everybody is and it’s pretty easy to find and organization to take part in like Student Government that has nothing to do with Greeks. This year we won the Basketball National Championship so athletics are pretty big, especially basketball, were known nationwide as a basketball school – this year our football team is surprisingly a little bit better that what normal is and we actually made it to a bowl game so – women’s soccer is also huge, we’ve won lots of championships in that too and women basketball is really good – there’s a good balance of good men’s and women’s teams – men’s baseball now is also doing pretty well.

Academics
I started with the political science department and I actually added American History my sophomore year – in political science I just really liked it – I learned a little about politics and the legal system in Government in High School and it had interested me so I studied it. My first class was Poly 41 which was intro to US Government and it was a really good class and I enjoyed the professor. The professors generally are really, really nice and really good teachers. I added history because I had lots of AP credit from High School and I only would have to take a couple of classes -, because I had 4 of the 10 classes through AP credit so it was just kind of easy add.

Student Body
I think there is more of a liberal bias here – and it might have to something with the professors but just generally more liberal students are attracted to come here just because of the liberal reputation that it has so that kind of perpetuates it.

In Closing...
This is supposed to be a pedestrian campus people walk around and its not too hard to walk around and it’s pretty easy to navigate – the construction kind of messes it up cause you might go to class one way, when you get out of class it might be closed – overall it’s not too bad – driving around campus is kind of complicated especially now again the construction cause they close the roads but there’s not a lot of roads sometime you have to circle around and stuff like that but it’s not to hard once you know where you’re going and where to go. To balance work and play it’s just time management and you need to you know set priorities and decide what needs to be done and what you can put off or do later, what’s more optional and you really should ideally do all your work but its not going to happen because you’re going to have so much work so you’re going to have to find a balance and do what you need to do in a timely manner so you can actually have some free time.
