[quote=Anonymous]Here we go with the nut job anti UNC posters.  Get over it people.

By law UNC is a state funded school to educate the children of North Carolinians, and the state refuses to use the business model of increasing OOS admissions to raise more money and help increase budgets (other state schools, like UVA change the OOS ratios around to help raise more money bc OOS state students may much more in tuition).  I believe it is required to be 85% instate at a minimum.  Athletes, depending whether or not they have a full scholarship, sometimes are counted as instate.

I went to UNC as an OOS student and loved it. I knew no one.  It is a true college town (still is), with a small town feel and a community that embraces the university.  The amentities are very good. The academics are great.  The student life is fun, interesting and diverse.  I lived a very sheltered life in a homogenous sort of town before college and going to a bigger school like UNC really introduced me to so many different types of people that fascinated me.  I have rich it's who have children that are students now and I go back often for games and events and it still seems like such a fun, great place.

Is it unique, as in the only school of it's kind that offers a nice balance between good academics and fun student life, no.  I am sure you can find that kind of formula at many different schools throughout the country.  But it's a great place.

There are a few anti UNC batwing crazy posters on DCUM who must have a google alert to tell them whenever a UNC post is made because they relentlessly post random articles about the academic scandal that is from over a decade ago involving athletes and fake classes.  They post over and over again.  Sometimes 5 times in 10 minutes (check time stamps on posts).  It's very unfortunate because it prevents a real discussion.   [/quote]
