Ask questions about UNC here!

@jaysun18 That’s correct. How many you have to take depends on what your major is. Not all science classes are impossibly hard, though. I’m in a Geology class where we study natural disasters–it’s actually really enjoyable. If you’re smart enough to get into Carolina, you’re smart enough to succeed here.

@adscram14 ok that’s reassuring to hear! i was just concerned that there wouldn’t be many options beyond some of the introductory science courses that are also known to be weed out classes for the hard sciences majors

Nope, don’t worry about that. Once you actually start looking there are some really interesting classes. Best of luck to you!

Is there a facebook group for accepted students?

@twogirls Yes, search “UNC Chapel Hill Class of 2019” and it should come up.

Thanks!!

How easy is it to develop relationships with professors, do research, and develop that close-knit feel within your major at UNC? How big are the classes? I apologize if this has already been addressed.

Do you recommend living in Alderman?

Is it possible for an Honors student to live in Koury with a non-Honors student as a roommate?

Koury is not exclusively honors students. Get your friends PID and request each other as a roommate via housing.

Which major is this school the best for?

@twogirls The best way to develop a relationship with your professors is via office hours. Class size varies greatly. Intro classes can be quite large. Upper level classes can be quite small. You will definitely develop a close knit feel with students within your major, especially via the upper level requirement classes. You will all be taking them together. UNC is a research university, so opportunities abound.

Even though I didn’t make it to honors program this year, could I apply the following semester or year?

^Yes, Students beginning their first year of study and who were not invited to join Honors Carolina upon matriculation may apply to join the following January. The application must include a recommendation for admission from a UNC faculty member with whom you have studied. You also have the possibility to apply in your second year.

Which banks have ATMs on campus? Thanks!

@boyswhofish BOA, Wells Fargo, BB&T, PNC off the top of my head

Am I able to edit my housing application after I submit it? Also, I tried searching my future roommate using her PID but for some reason her profile doesn’t pop up. Does she have to submit her housing application in order to appear on the roommate search?

Will courses I take at a different institution during the summer count towards my cumulative gpa on my transcript?

No, the courses and hours will be considered transfer in credits and count toward your overall 120 hour undergraduate requirement. They also can also satisfy core class requirements if they align with UNC classes. Your grades from other institutions, however, will not factor into the calculation of your Carolina GPA.

Do you need to make the UNC One card into a debit card if you already have a debit card? Can you use a different debit card for laundry etc or must it be a UNC One card?

I guess I am just questioning whether we need to put cash on the UNC One card if she has a debit/ATM card already.
