My other comments...yes Carolina has its share of cliques, plenty in fact, but in a school of about 20,000 people, you can't expect everyone to know everyone else, and no doubt most of us have formed our own but we just don't want to label them as such. People wander outside their circles as well. Let's face it, a lot of that has to do with perspectives. I thought for a long time about how I didn't know very many people, and I was sad about it for a little while. But then I think about all the people that I do know on a very personal level as opposed to a superficial level, and these were going to be the people stayed in touch with anyway not everyone else. On top of that one of my friends commented on how it seemed like I knew everyone on campus...no where near the truth, but you might not think you know a lot of people, but others think you do.
There are a lot of liberals here, true, but there are also plenty of conservatives. Take it from a liberal whose been surrounded by conservatives since freshmen year when they were my suitemates and now they are some of the life long friends I've made during my time at Carolina.
As far as social life goes, sure there could be a better one if UNC was situated in a bigger city, but it's not. But it's not that bad, it can't be if people from NC State and Duke are coming here on the weekends. But don't be surprised if Franklin St. isn't as big you expect. You do the things that typical college students do go to bars, clubs, parties, and events on campus.As far as job porspects, I think it's uncertain for everyone unless you take the initiative to line things up for yourself. Don't rely simply on the name of the school and the GPA to get yourself an interview. Make sure you have gotten to know people who can give you references, get your resume out early, take advantage of University Career Services (a wonderful thing to help get a job, simply by posting I've had at least 5 companies approach me regarding job openings). Although you shouldn't solely depend on it, the name UNC-Chapel Hill does carry weight.
