<p>My son is a senior at UNC. While he loved his years there, he would not choose this school if he was applying now. He believes the budget cuts have really impacted his education. One reason he selected UNC was the weather - it does get cold in Carolina and it does snow - he should have checked out Yahoo weather! However, the weather is nicer than Boston and Michigan. Sports are great too - a real rah rah school. Although approximately 82% of the student body is from NC, he had no trouble making friends as an out of stater.</p>
