Okay, saying “dumb” is too harsh. I have met people in core classes who seem less intelligent… however, I guess it is pretty unfair to judge a person’s intellect when you barely know them. Also, people obviously come across as less smart when they are taking classes that don’t interest them.

I think its more fair to sum up UNC students as falling into four different groups:

Quite brilliant (OOS and in-state) students who are very ambitious and high-achieving.
People who are very, very smart but less hard-working.
People who less smart but very, very hard-working.
And students who are responsible and very knowledgable in a certain area of study… but who also like to have extra-curricular activities and good social lives (most students fall into this category).
