damn unc! screwed up my bracket!!!

Hey there! I am from out of state and know very little about the area. Any recommendations from my fellow Tar Heels about places to live or fun things to do while visiting the area would be appreciated. I look forward to meeting some of you next month!
I lived in Durham and in Chapel Hill when I attended UNC for grad school. I've also had friends that have lived in most of the apartments in the area. If you are interested in something, let me know and I can tell you what I know about them. The best thing is that the buses are free so you can hop on and off, so the apartments near the buslines are good ones. The only bad thing is that if you live too far away, you have to worry about when the last bus runs until and have to make your plans according to that.
I hope this helps!
P.S. UNC is one of my top choices, so I might be looking for roommate(s) soon.

For those of you who are out-of-state, did they talk to you about getting North Carolina residency? I'm curious how difficult they make it on you. I'll be at Duke next year, but will most likely get my MPH at UNC during third year and need residency to avoid paying the tuition difference.
Congratulations on your acceptance to The University of North Carolina School of Medicine.

I just wanted to say congratulations to all the incoming tarheels in the class of 2008! Enjoy your second look day this weekend -- and if you have any questions about life in Chapel Hill as an MS1, feel free to PM me 😀

Not a lot of "new information," but interesting to hear different perspectives from current students. There were segments devoted to each of the four years, with students from each class on stage to talk about their lives and answer questions. Community service opportunities throughout the four years were also discussed/stressed. Actually, lunch at the Carolina Inn was probably the only important/good thing you missed, unless you count the free UNC Med t-shirt. 😉ngtah00 said:
Congrats y'all! I'm sure it'll be very exciting! I will be applying this summer and praying to God that I get into UNC, my first and only choice. - Firas
I'll still apply everywhere else, too. But heck, how many tries does it take to get in?
Thread revival time...
Any incoming Tarheels know where they're living yet? My family will be moving into a place in Southern Village at the end of July.
Also, here is the orientation info from last year, most of it is still applicable. There's also a good "ask a second year" forum under the Life At School link: 2003 Orientation Info

You kind of have to ride the bus - they won't give out parking passes to anyone who lives within 2 miles (I think that's the distance). Everyone in my class either walks, takes the bus, or rides a bike in. The bus is free and runs pretty regularly, so getting to school has never been a problem at all.
Oh yeah, I'm definitely taking the bus. We've already scoped out the bus stop location as well as the schedule. We live in Durham now, we're selling our house and moving closer to be on the bus line as well as get into the CH school district. We've already gone down to one car in anticipation of my bus riding.
So... anyone want to buy a house in Durham? 15 minutes to UNC, 10 minutes to Duke... 😀

Did anyone else sign up for parking in the S11 lot? I did the lottery and I actually got the permit. I feel so special, like I won something!!! haha.
But I don't think I am going to take it, because I found a place close to campus to live.
Now, if only I could be so lucky with financial aid...Congratulations! You've won a free ride!

I would agree that getting a parking permit really doesn't make sense, b/c as someone mentioned, you'd have to walk/take a bus from the S11 parking lot anyway. I have friends who live as far away as the RTP, and they just drive in to the Friday Center Park and Ride and take the bus in. Also, most of the lots here are free after 5 PM and on weekends, so it's easy enough to drive in on evenings and weekends.
