Looking for a top tier academic experience at a public university that also encourages a well-rounded lie? Look no further than UNC. Often referred to as a public ivy, UNC was voted the 5th best public university in the country and 28th best overall. 78% of the students were in the top 10% of their high school class. UNC has graduated 47 Rhodes scholars making it 5th behind Harvard, Yale, Stanford and Princeton.
UNC identifies its goal as serving the people of NC, the US and the world. Public service is integrated into the school culture and so are the Tar Heal athletics with men’s basketball dominating. A third important dynamic to the school is it’s connection to research triangle. Like it’s neighbors NCSU and Duke, UNC benefits from it’s location within research triangle providing it’s students with significant internships and research opportunities. Mare than 60% of the students get involved in research and that can happen as early as freshman year. UNC is best known for their biology, chemistry and classics programs. Other popular programs include psychology, mass communication and mass media studies.
In addition to athletics, the UNC social scene is supported by more than 600 clubs and a strong Greek life. South campus, where most freshmen live, is not known for their dorm parties however North campus does quite well in that area. By state policy 82% of every class must be comprised of NC residents.
