<p>After being accepted to unc last week as a transfer student, now comes the hard part of deciding what to do for next year. I have a few questions about Unc that if any current students or transfer students could answer would be much appreciated. How was the transition into life at UNC? How would you rate the rigor of the curriculum? Is it necessary to study constantly and spend hours in the library to keep your head abover water in class? Is it difficult to sign up for classes and get the ones that you want? Are classes mainly taught by professors or ta's and what are class sizes like?</p>
<p>I appreciate any help you guys can offer.
Thanks</p>

<p>I transferred in last year, and I found the transition to be pretty easy. You’ll have to go to a transfer student orientation program (TSOPS), but it is actually pretty helpful and is a good way to meet other transfers. Get involved with Tar Heel Transfers (THT), as they have a ton of events just for transfer students that are usually pretty fun. Besides that, you’ll meet a lot of people when you move in to your dorm or wherever you will end up living. </p>

<p>It is challenging, but not impossible. I transferred in from the honors college of a top-50 private university, and honestly I found my classes here to be a bit tougher. There are easy ones though if you really look for them…</p>

<p>It depends what you are shooting for. I rarely study and hardly ever spend time in the library, but then again my GPA is around a 3.0. Some of my friends who work harder have higher GPAs. You just have to decide how much time you are willing to put into it. </p>

<p>Not really. Registration goes by seniority, so each semester registration will get easier and easier. </p>

<p>Every class I have had has been taught by a professor, but for some of the large classes there was a once-weekly discussion section taught by a TA. Entry-level classes can be pretty big, but they get smaller as you get into the higher-level courses.</p>
