Home to the students, alumni, professors, staff, and fans of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. It's a #GDTBATH 🐏

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is the first public university founded in the United States of America. Since opening its doors in 1789, UNC has grown to become a gorgeous southern campus sprawling over 729 acres.

With over seventy different majors and minors, UNC has consistently been ranked in the top five public universities in the United States.

UNC's Men's Basketball team has won six national championships since 1957 and is especially renowned for being Michael Jordan's alma mater. Most importantly, UNC is a far, far better institution of higher education than its unfortunate neighbor, Dook.

Go Heels!

i think i’m going to medically withdraw, can someone who has done that give me some insight?

i’ve had the worst semester of my life, my mental health is in the toilet. LDOC is tomorrow and i’m failing all my classes with nothing i can do about it, i don’t even know if the degree i’m working towards is worth it anymore, and i just can’t do this shit right now. i need a break. i’d probably return in the fall of 2025, but i want to make sure i CAN return. has anyone here medically withdrawn and can give me insight/advice? i’m mostly worried about the financials and the ability to come back when i’m ready, i’ve emailed the registrar’s office but tomorrow is the last day for this option to be available and i just need someone to explain things to me so i know this choice isn’t going to end my unc career

Looking for interview with a student receiving gender affirming care

My name is Henry Taylor and I’m a student journalist here at UNC. I’m looking to interview someone who is currently receiving gender affirming care about how they feel about the Trump administration, and how it may change their level of access to care. If this is you, and you’d be comfortable meeting up, I’d love to speak! Shoot me a dm and we can set something up. Thanks!

A vending machine in the Davis library was kept open, resulting in many students taking drinks from it without paying.

Hey,

I completely forgot to get my cap and gown for graduation, and I'm due to graduate in two weeks. Does anyone have any cap and gown I can buy from them?

Thanks

ML class with COMP vs STOR vs BIOS department

I am hoping to take one of the following classes in the upcoming Spring semester:
BIOS 635 - Into to ML
STOR 565 - Machine Learning
COMP 562 - Intro to ML

As someone who is still trying to overcome the fear of coding or tackle a data science problem without getting intimidated, I request anyone to guide me as to which class among these would be the best suited for someone like me whose research heavily depends on predictive modeling.

Alabama Basketball Tickets

I’ve got 2 phase 3 tickets and I was hoping to find someone who would rather not show up so early and possibly trade either phase 1 or 2 for my phase 3 tickets. Or someone who can’t use their tickets as phase 1/2 in general.

Selling POLI 202 Textbook

Hey everyone, I’m selling my textbook for POLI 202 (The Supreme Court 15th Edition by Lawrence Baum). Currently an exchange student and will be leaving at the end of the semester so would like to sell it if I can. The book is in basically brand new condition with no highlights in it. For those interested in the unit I highly recommend taking it with Professor McGuire. Asking 60 for it seeing as it sells for 90+ tax brand new.

Spanish 102

Hey everyone. I’m debating on taking Spanish 102 here at UNC or transferring credit from a community college. Any thoughts on difficulty when compared to Spanish 101 here? I would be taking with Professor Shade. Any comments would be appreciated.

UNC vs Dook Tickets

Dad is a huge UNC fan and his birthday is a few days after the game, wanted to get him something really special since he’s wanted to go to this game for 35 odd years, getting a job and will take me approximately 2 months to pay for the tickets after fees (688$ tickets on seatgeek) how much do you guys estimate it will cost by then? is it going to be so much more that i should try to get my grandparents to buy them for me now and i’ll pay them then or would it only be like a hundred extra

econ 420

Hi! So I got around the 50's on both my midterms and I'm hella scared that I might actually fail this class because the midterms are worth 20% and the final is worth 35%. I'm doing well on the problem sets (prob will avg ~90% and theyre worth 20%). Should I withdraw from the class or still go through with the final ( will the curve save me)

UNC Basketball Attendance Question

So I didn’t get a lottery ticket to the basketball game against Bama (if anybody has a spare, it would be greatly appreciated.) I will probably end up buying a ticket. If I do so, will my GoHeels QR code still be scanned for attendance, or would I have to run to the student entrance and ask them to scan it there?

Housing 25-26

Hi! So I applied for on-campus housing, but ended up on the waitlist very very far down. Any suggestions for apartments, houses, townhomes, etc that are reasonably priced (around $600-$900 a month)? I would also prefer walking distance but know that is a big ask with my budget😭 any help would be appreciated!

Against Honor Code to Discuss Grades?

I recently had a prof tell me that grades and assignment feedback are confidential, not only between the prof and the student in a class, but between students as well. As in, the prof can’t discuss your grade/feedback with other students, and you also can’t discuss your grades/feedback with other students. I thought this sounded odd, and I haven’t been able to find anywhere in the student handbook or honor code that says this isn’t allowed. The prof was adamant that this was a real and punishable offense. It just strikes me as odd considering it’s never mentioned in syllabi.

Is this a real thing that students can’t discuss assignment feedback?

Tips for Applying to UNC + Hussman as Transfer Student

Hello all!

I will be applying to UNC as a Fall 2025 transfer student. I will have earned my Associate of Arts degree in Digital Mass Media - Journalism from an out-of-state community college.

I was curious as to what's most important to be included in my transfer application to UNC, or what the school mainly looks for in it. I'll likely have a 3.4-3.5 GPA (trending upwards) upon applying this spring, as I previously had a 3.2 carry over from my freshman year at a large in-state school. I did well in all of my classes (A's, B's) except for a D in one course the fall of my freshman year which was the result of extraneous circumstances.

I'm extremely involved at my current community college; I play for a NJCAA-sanctioned sports team, I am a staff writer and editor for our school's paper, and I also help fundraise and set up events for some smaller clubs as well. I was also a representative for my previous in-state school's NCAA Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. I was also heavily involved with clubs and sports at my high school as well.

I've read that it's been extremely difficult for transfer students to get accepted into Hussman, along with other schools, and that I should have a back-up plan if I were to attend UNC. I was curious if there were any possible recommendations to better my chances, or if it's ultimately out of my control due to my transfer student status.

Any tips or recommendations would be largely appreciated, thank you all so much!

How are Laurel Ridge apartments?

I’m planning to move from my current apartment to Laurel Ridge ASAP due to a terrible German roach infestation. Does anyone know if Laurel Ridge has had any roach problems? It’s fine if it’s the occasional outdoor roach but I’m more concerned about the kitchen infestation type of roaches. Any other apartment recommendations are also welcome!!

Withdrawal vs probation appeal

Was convinced I was leaving UNC last semester, did horribly, got put on academic warning and have been trying to raise my GPA from 1.6 to a 2.0. Mental health got horrible again and I don't think I'll be able to raise it. I'm currently writing my appeal, but I don't know if it's genuinely worth it to spend the money on another semester if it's going to be like this again. Would it be better to take a semester off and find a new college after? I just dunno. I did my damn best this semester with a lot of family and mental stress (dad randomly dropping the ball in June that he would no longer be helping me with tuition combined with Fafsa not helping due to academic warning etc etc). My advisor aka sweetest woman in the world said I could do either but really recommended I take a break, which feels kinda dumb but I guess pretty necessary. Really disappointed in myself, but I know I've been trying. Thoughts or comments encouraged😭

Computer Science Application

i’m applying to the comp sci major after next semester (i’m a freshman) it seems that i’m gonna end up with a B in calc and an A in comp 110, doing good in all other courses. i have an easier course load next semester so it should bring up my gpa. im also involved in cs related extracurriculars but am just a little nervous about how competitive the application really is. i seemed to get mixed answers everywhere i look. i’m also wondering if we need to have a letter of rec? any feedback is helpful!

Withdrawal Process

Is it still possible to submit a withdrawal request right now? I know you can withdraw up until the last day of classes but is that when it’s fully processed or just when the request has to be submitted?

Who wants a ticket?

So I entered the lottery for the UNC v NC State game on Saturday, only to realize I would be out of state on the day of the game. Of course, because of my amazing luck, I ended up winning the lottery and getting a ticket but obviously I can't go.

Anybody interested in taking my ticket???🥲🥲🥲
