[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is finishing his second year at UNC and its been a good experience.  He grew up in DC and I'm a UVA grad.  Here are a few highlights.

*  The OOS tuition is a relative bargain (compared to UVA OOS tuition)
*  He only had a few huge classes or with grad students. Otherwise, he's had professors that he likes in smaller classes. 
*  Like other large universities, some of the majors  require application after a year or two
*  UNC feels more relaxed to me than UVA and that's a good fit for my son.
*  On long weekends, a good number of NC students go home and the dining halls close. This surprised me. As a result, he is close to other OOS and international students in addition to in state students..
*  The class registration website and process is bewildering. I only tried to help when he was an entering first year and stayed out of it after that (as I should!)
*  The campus and CH is great (if your child likes that type of setting).

I am grateful he was admitted and I think it's a great school.  Best wishes for you, OP.[/quote]

Thank you for the balanced response - very helpful. So many of the posts here are either 100% for or 100% against a school. Nice to hear some pros and cons.[/quote]
