CHS, what department and year are you? if you are an 2nd year, can you please give me an idea of what ucla is like and if you came from the la area
why did the public health thread die out so quickly after one got accepted into schools? is anyone else excited about starting in the fall?????
- I am moving to North Carolina, a state in which I have never set foot and where I know not a single soul. In fact, I have never even set foot in the American South. (But I am hoping very much that the stereotype about sitting on the verandah and sipping mint juleps all day is true.)

NC is a wonderful place. I'm from DC and spent my entire undergraduate career there (I went to NC State; one of UNC's hugest rivals). It is nothing but colleges and college students there. Everyone tends to be very encouraging and supportive; ppl work in groups alot bc they want everyone to succeed. It's not at all cut-throat like a few schools up north would be. A lot of young adults in the RDU area. If you're from a big city it will take some getting used to the pace of the south... it is much slower but it's refreshing.Ha! I think it's a vicious cycle. Fewer people post, which lowers our expectations of the forum, which makes us even less likely to post, and so on.
In any case, I'm glad you brought this up, because I have missed our little public health applicant/future student community. I feel like I need even more support now than I did during the application cycle. I am terribly excited, but also just plain terrified:

- I have not written a research paper in English (I was a foreign language major) since the spring of 2005.
- I fear, in my darkest moments, that everyone else in the program will be brilliant, and I will be the admission committee's lone mistake.
So, if anyone else out there is feeling excitement, anxiety, or both, please know that you are in good company!
