[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m from northern VA. One of my childhood friends went to UNC and she came back for winter break with a full on southern accent and a love of country music. It was so weird (she joined a sorority so I guess it was like a Southern Immersion Program or something!)[/quote]

Funny. I'm from the south, went to unc in the early 80s and came home with a NJ accent. Duke, UNC and other NC schools were over run by kids from up north.[/quote]

So true.  My ex girlfriend went to Duke and she used to call it SUNY (State University of New York) at Durham.[/quote]

This is definitely still true at Duke and was NEVER true at UNC, which has a long standing cap of 18% OOS (and that includes the athletes). Nice try. [/quote]

Erhinghaus dorm was at least 50% Jersyites back in the 80s. PP you have no idea.[/quote]

Well bless your heart.  I’m a Tar Heel, graduated 96. Yeah, if you’re going to point out ONE dorm out of a school of about 30,000 then you have zero argument.  And if you actually went to UNC you’d know that E-haus is the athlete’s dorm.

There is zero chance that UNC EVER had a large of Jersey/Mass/NY/PA students like Dook. Never.  Thanks for playing.  [/quote]

I find the NC accent from the Greensboro area to be very "sticky". I grew up in SC but went to a camp for a week with a bunch of NC kids and came back home with that NC accent. My family couldn't believe it. So I can absolutely see going to college in NC and coming back with an accent.[/quote]
