Just returned home from looking for housing for son who is transferring to Chapel Hill as a junior in psych/bio. Even though we are instate–he refused to look at Carolina as a high schooler as he thought he wanted “something different”.

He had never even been in the town of Chapel Hill until yesterday. We spent two days looking at apartments, walking the campus, exploring shops, and eating at restaurants. He loved it. It is most definitely a college town. Even though it is summer, we saw a fair number of students and the town was far from “dead”.

Surprisingly, he had several nice choices of apartments to choose from–we were afraid there wouldn’t be much left this time of year. Several apts. were those of recently graduated students who to a one were so sad to be leaving Chapel Hill. Not one had a negative comment or a “can’t wait to get out of here” attitude.

My son is excited about this fall and is anxious to start this new phase.
