<p>South campus as most of the freshman, as the upper classmen will pick north. Although I believe honors was/ is Cobb which is north, and quieter. There are also living/ learning communities that might put you in a dorm that is not all freshman. South campus is a walk - but my S did not complain about it. Enjoyed the exercise. He now walks just as far to his apartment. </p>
<p>Franklin has a lot of restaurants and bars, with some stories. Walgreens, shops, coffee places, etc. YOu can get your haircut, do your laundry and get yogurt … yopo is that right? At the yogurt pump place? Kids who are underage eat and walk around and get yogurt. I don’t think there is any differance in the kids south versus north - other than more upper classmen are north. If you want a “true” freshman experience go south.</p>
<p>It can be tough to get into classes. If you can get into honors I think that can help.</p>
<p>I believe science majors are harder, according to the kids.</p>
<p>I think it’s hard not to like UNC, the campus, or Franklin. My S has enjoyed it. We have loved visiting. Again, it’s all what you make of it and how you approach life in general. Going to a UNC basketball game is an experience not to be missed. Good luck!</p>
