I AM A BRIGHT STUDENT WHO HAD A TOUGH FAMILY BACKGROUND AND VERY LITTLE MONEY. IT TURNS OUT THAT UNC WAS PERFECT FOR ME. IT IS PROBABLY THE LOWEST PRESSURE ELITE PUBLIC SCHOOL I HAVE FOUND (I TAUGHT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, SO I HAVE SOME PERSPECTIVE).

IT IS A GREAT PLACE TO BE A PRE-MED. I TOOK A TON OF MATH AND SCIENCE CLASSES AND COULD NEVER FIGURE OUT WHO WAS PRE-MED. YOU JUST DID THE WORK AND IF YOU KNEW IT, YOU SCORED WELL.

MY TWIN BROTHER WENT TO DUKE AND ALTHOUGH A GREAT SCHOOL, IT WAS MUCH MORE OF A GRIND.

I ALSO FELT THAT I WAS THE BEST PREPARED STUDENT (AT LEAST MATHEMATICALLY) IN MY PH.D. PROGRAM (ECONOMICS).

DONT' GO IF YOU ARE LAZY. YOU MAY GET A DEGREE BUT YOU CAN TAKE CRAPPY CLASSES AND COME OUT WITH AN AVERAGE EDUCATION.

DO GO IF YOU WANT TO LEARN AND NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH A LOT OF GRADE/SOCIAL PRESSURE.

NOT THAT UNLIKE MANY SOUTHERN SCHOOLS, FRATS DO NOT LOOM LARGE.

Hi! I don't know when this was posted, but I am going to be a HS Senior this year, and am looking into UNC. I have a twin brother, too, and I was wondering how much financial aid was given for having two kids in college at the same time. Thanks!
