I transfered into Chapel Hill from a smaller school in the NC university system and it was quite a shock. The most important thing about UNC is that it's a really big school and you start out as just a number.

There are plenty of chances to define yourself and change from a number to a name (within your section of the university) but it is all up to you. Your professors will not reach out to you- you have to make all the effort to breakaway from the crowd.

The "rivalry" between in-state and out-of-state is a bit overdramatic. North Carolinians are proud of UNC, and for good reason. It's a challenging school with difficult subjects and professors that are extremely qualified (even if they are sometimes too into themselves). Being accepted as an NC resident is like a badge of honor for people from NC- we all know the cache it holds and honor it for that reason.

Social life revolves around groups/clubs: sports (club sports are really popular too; you don't have to be on a varsity team), greek life, drama, work, music, etc. Find your hobby and then find your friends…
