While I can see where eadad is coming from, I have found UNC to be way too large for me. Ultimately, I thought I could get over it and still have a great experience here, but I’ve often wished that I picked a small LAC over UNC. If you’re legitimately concerned that UNC is going to be a poor fit based on size, then listen to your gut and go to W&M. UNC does have a great community and school spirit, but in my experience, those two things weren’t enough to overcome the major negative of UNC’s size.

If I had to go back and make the college decision all over again, I still would’ve picked UNC over my other choices (I applied to mostly tier three schools looking for large merit aid), but since you have W&M in your back pocket, I’d take a long time to think over what you really want out of your college experience.
