Live and Study with the Nation's Best Students
If you come to Carolina, you’ll be supported and challenged by students who are among the very best in the world. Our students are also incredibly diverse—racially, socioeconomically, and geographically. If you're interested in stepping outside your comfort zone and getting to know other students with different talents, passions, and backgrounds, you'll love Carolina. We think that that our students will push you to reach the goals you’ve set for yourself—and perhaps achieve things you haven’t even imagined.
“The support and collaboration on
this campus has empowered me
to experiment with a full range of
interests and whims. I’ve applied
my Spanish major through service
learning, I’ve audited a semester of
Hindi in preparation for a research
trip to India, and helped express
campus voices while working with
the Daily Tar Heel.”

Her article on the latter experience was published in the September 2007 issue of the policy journal Health Affairs. As one of Carolina’s 43 Rhodes Scholars, she will travel to England where she will earn a graduate degree at Oxford University.
