Again hornet...redirect if you must.

The point is, we have had a minor mini-rash of posters who have had atypically negative experiences, or so they claim. I think the reason many feel the need to correct these posters is not to DEFEND, but to make sure the overall picture of UNC is true and accurate.

Because, seriously, some of the complaints have just been really nutty lately. Sheesh.

I'll add an elaborative example on the oos issue. My d is from oos obviously. All of this negativity about being an oos student and treatment by in-state students is really sad. It is NOT the huge problem into which two or three posters have frothed it. My d spent last week with her big gang of girls...half in-state, half oos, half sorority girls, half independents, etc... They dressed up, took photos together, hung out before the big push for finals and before they went their separate ways for summer. The in-state girls are helping the oos girls without cars get their belongings into storage. Their's is a wonderful, colloborative friendship and one EASILY HAD by all willing just to make the smallest of effort. If I mention this, hornet will call me defensive. If I don't, people will read this forum and get a completely WRONG idea about what it means to be oos at Carolina.
