These problems are common to all large public institutions, but it is annoying that UNC-CH considers itself to be so wonderful when it is really just another factory-like school that treats students like they're simply sources of revenue. No one is intersted in whether you learn or nor, or what your goals or aspirations are. You're just a tuition check to them. This may sound harsh, and I'm sure some people had great experiences at UNC-CH, but I am just speaking from my own experience, which was dreadful. And yes, I tried my hardest to stand out and not be a number, but eventually you get tired of beating your head against an indifferent tower. UNC-CH is just not a happy place for undergraduates, and I wish someone had warned me before I went there.
So please think twice before going to UNC-CH. Consider going to a really top-notch liberal arts school -- the attention from faculty and opportunities you have there would make the poor souls at diploma factories like UNC-CH turn green with envy!
Socially UNC is very dynamic. Past posts have complained about and praised the presence of Greek life on campus, but unless you join a fraternity or sorority, it will have little to no impact on your life here at Carolina. Most frat parties will let in any girl, so if you're a girl, that's always a weekend option, though I honestly burnt out on frat parties after freshman year. It took me almost two semesters to find people at Carolina that I really connected with, but in my opinion, finding those core friendships can make or break your view on the social scene here. There are plenty of non-Greek options and social subcultures at Carolina, plenty of house parties and different types of bars that I find to be all superior options to frat parties. It is only a matter of finding them. That being said, you can find out pretty quickly whether or not Greek life is your thing, or whether you should look towards other social options. I would also like to comment on the perceived liberalness of Carolina. Being from North, I don't think this school is overwhelmingly liberal. I have met and lived with people here that were far more religious and conservative than me, and they have all been able to find their niche here at Carolina. They are a substantial contingency at this school, although the majority of students are more liberal, or something in between. But as far as college campuses go, I don't see how this school could be labeled radically liberal. Most college campuses are pretty liberal, and Carolina is no exception, nor is it somehow more liberal than the rest.
