The University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill

Attending the University of North Carolina was without a doubt the worst experience of my life. Despite its prestige, the school is a terrible place for undergraduates. The faculty couldn't care less about their students, and graduate assistants do far too much of the teaching. Many of the students are depressed because they're very smart, yet are frustrated because the professors don't give a darn about them. Even upper level classes are huge, and ist likely that whe you graduate, only a handful of prefessors will know your name. UNC is a very inexpensive school, but you get what you pay for -- and the quality of undergradute education here is terrible. My friends and I used to call this place the "Factory" because of the way students are treated. If you are out of state, I advise you not to come here -- you'll just be getting the same mediocre public-university education that you could get back home at State U.

I have been at this school now for four years. I am a starter on the Football team and I have to admit, we have some serious problems. The teachers here are extremely anti-sports. Our basketball team is a joke and our new coach is a pompous bastard. Why did I come to this school? I would have received a lot more recognition at Clemson or NC State and could be headed to the pros after last season. If you are an athlete, DO NOT attend UNC as they have no experience taking their athletes to the next level. The old coaches did...Dick Crum, Dean Smith etc. These new prep coaches have no clue.
