I’m really interested in UNC but as silly as it sounds going to a college with nice dorms and food is important to me. does UNC fulfill this?
The students I know who attend like the dining hall food, however I am sure you will always find some who don’t. They do have a vegetarian selection if that interests you. The dorms are fine, with some being nicer than others.
UNC is a state university with a cap on OOS students (max 18%, including athletic recruits, by law). Some of the dorms are great, some ok, some not so great. If fancy dorms are important to you look at the state universities that are trying to attract OOS students- Ohio State has amazing options (do you want the suite with the plasma tv, or the one with all en-suite bathrooms? or both?).
The campus is beautiful and the school has a lot to offer in terms of strong academics, internships, research opportunities, spirit, etc. The dorms are fine. If you are looking for luxury dorms then you should apply to schools that put most of their money into housing.
