Setting and distance from home
This campus is an urban setting, which is better for me because I am very used to a lot of people and the city life. UNC is a good distance from home. I would be able to be independent and on my own, but I can visit my family for holidays and special occasions.
Reputation/Ranking
UNC is ranked 42nd out of the top 400 colleges across the entire country. It also received 1st in the best value to in-state residents for the 12th time in a row. Additionally, it was 1st among 100 of best academics at an affordable price. According to the students and alumni, the classes are beneficial and challenging, but there are many resources that they used to help them grasp the concepts.
