Major: (This Major's Salary over time)
I graduated from UNC three years ago -- and I really wish I hadn't gone there. I can't speak for other departments, but my experience in the History department was absolutely dreadful. In general, the professors there aren't interested in undergraduate students. Most of the classes are huge impersonal lecture halls. I was a senior before I had a class under 50 people. When I did try to talk to professors, they were by and large extremely rude and condescending. It was such a disheartening experience that I considered transferring several times. The school is a vast machine with a huge bureaucracy that is maddening to navigate. UNC exists for professors -- it is a place for them to publish, to get tenure, to hold conferences, etc. UNC does not exist for its students. It is a horrendous place at which to be an undergraduate it you want a high-quality, personal education. Maybe things have changed since I went there, but I doubt it. It has probably gotten worse.
