<p>To any northerners/midwesterners who go here...do you feel out of place at all? Is there any kind of southern bias or cultural differences that I should be aware of? Are out-of-staters in cliques separate from people from NC?</p>
<p>No don't worry about any of that. It's possible at first the out of staters will tend to stick together but very soon after it is not difficult at all to become friends with the in staters. You will definitely notice some cultural differences which is a good thing I say but there is definitely no bias. You won't be disliked for being a northerner. Actually a good amount of the in staters I became friends with were transplanted northerners.</p>
<p>There really isn't any "southern bias" because Carolina and Chapel Hill definitely lean to the left politically.</p>
<p>i grew up in Idaho then I moved to NC. I'm considered in state but I'm not from here and let me tell you what I learned. First off, a lot of the rumers about southerners I was taught aren't all true. They're are just like everyone I ever met in the US: they eat pizza, speak english, watch TV, and they even dress pretty similiar to what people dressed like in Idaho. </p>
<p>Seriously though, you're a teenager from the US going to a school with a very large teenage population in the US. No one really cares where you come from as long as you don't act like you're better than everyone else because your not from there. I lived on a hall where basically everyone was from NC and there was 1 Canadian, did anyone care?, no.</p>
