UNC is NOT for everyone

I’ve been simply saying exactly what I experienced. People who have a problem with my personal feelings about UNC - I can’t help you there.

Jack - I don’t understand why you’re attacking my experience at UNC. Just so you know, I did place out of some intro level classes, but that is not relevant at all in my discussion of TAs. Fact is, they were all taught by TAs when I took the course, and the same classes are not at Northwestern. In fact, according to US News and World Report’s rankings:
Percent of class sections taught by graduate teaching assistants: 30%
Especially for OOS students, who pay more than double the tuition of IS students, this is grossly unfair.

There are an equal amount of cultural events and group activities here at NU, but I feel like people here simply appreciate it more. The events are much more popular, and people actually go to them! While UNC is a diverse place, I (and I was a member of the Asian Students Association) felt that the events hosted by the cultural groups were social outings for themselves, as opposed to events meant to encourage campus-wide involvement.
