<p>I fell in love with Chapel Hill when I visited. (Who didn't?) But how strong is Chapel Hill's science program overall in comparison to other top schools? Are there any weaknesses? Do the large class sizes interfere with learning?</p>
<p>thanks.</p>
<p>Well one of the science professors at UNC just won the nobel prize in physiology/medicine, so the science program at UNC certainly isn't weak.</p>
<p>Courses at UNC are small relative to its size, actually. See [url=<a href="http://www.ais.unc.edu/sis/clsched/csbhome.html%5Dhere%5B/url">http://www.ais.unc.edu/sis/clsched/csbhome.html]here[/url</a>] for course sizes.</p>
<p>Chemistry is arguably Carolina's best science department, followed by biology. Geology and physics are also strong. I've taken a couple of geology/marine science courses at UNC and enjoyed them.</p>
<p>thanks.. the class sizes stuff was very helpful!</p>
