<p>I’m not really sure about your first question but I can try to answer your second two.</p>
<p>Bureaucracy does seem to be a little bit of a problem at UNC. I’ve really only encountered this with extracurriculars first-hand, but it seems like there are several different offices and administrators to go through if you want to get anything done with a club, so it can be a bit of a pain. Also, there is sometimes a lack of communication between these groups and a lack of organization which can be frustrating.</p>
<p>There seem to be great relationships between in-state and out-of-state students. I have several friends who are out-of-state, and there honestly seems to be no difference or differentiation socially in terms of how out-of-state students are viewed. It may be a little difficult to find a niche at the beginning of the year as an out-of-state student since many in-state students come from large high schools in North Carolina that send 30 to 50 students to UNC a year (and who have already established friends), but I have found that for the most part, both in-state state and out-of-state students are excited and eager to meet new people. Also, I believe there is an some sort of out-of-state organization that meets where you can meet other out-of-state students and make friends that way.</p>
