I guess she's gonna have to sit this year out because unfortunately this was the school she chose. She has been trying to change her program with no help because she can't log into the system after changing her password multiple times per her advisors request. She was compelled to change her program after speaking with her advisor, but she has received no assistance with their system issues. I guess Fridays are their days to chill because you literally can't reach anyone. I tried going up to the school to see if she could possibly get this resolved today, but they had the doors locked at 2:00pm when we arrived. This place is poorly run.

No, UNC isn't perfect, but I'm giving it five stars on Yelp because, objectively speaking, it's…read morestill a great school and one of the biggest and most-recognized brands when it comes to universities (academics) and college athletics. There's no denying that. I have an interesting relationship with UNC. I was born and raised in High Point, North Carolina. My parents went to Wake, so I grew up a Demon Deacon fan. I was in the minority, starting in elementary school, because most of the other kids cheered for Carolina and Duke. In middle school, I became a member of the ABC Club - Anybody But Carolina. A lot of my high school friends and classmates went on to attend UNC. I went to Georgia Tech and settled in Atlanta. Fast-forward about 15 years and my wife matched into her ophthalmology residency at UNC. We moved away from Atlanta and spent the last four years of our lives in Chapel Hill, so my wife could slave away as a resident physician for UNC Health. For her, it was the most difficult and grueling years of her life. For me, I used it as an opportunity to explore Chapel Hill - mainly the businesses on and around Franklin Street - and go to Carolina men's basketball and football games when they played Georgia Tech. As expected, we beat Carolina in football, even when they were ranked and favored, and lost to Carolina in basketball. It was a lot of fun to attend the games at Kenan Stadium and the Dean Dome. I do have to mention I was at the last men's basketball game between Tech and Carolina on January 30, 2024 in Atlanta. Tech upset Carolina, then ranked No. 3 in the country, 74-73. UNC has a beautiful campus and the Town of Chapel Hill is a great college town. Generally speaking, in this regard, I think UNC is a model university for the classic American college experience. It seems to have it all and is more well rounded than, say, Georgia Tech, which is heavily research and engineering focused (not as typical a college experience, in my opinion). After spending four years in Chapel Hill and getting to know a part of the UNC community, mainly through my wife's program, I've softened on Carolina. I do admit I was very proud of my wife as soon as I learned that she matched into UNC's ophthalmology residency (Kittner Eye Center). Funny enough though, my wife still rooted for Georgia Tech over North Carolina and still does to this day. I successfully brainwashed her. Aside from certain things related to her work - much due to the broken US healthcare system, not necessarily specific to UNC or UNC Health - we leave UNC with nothing but good memories.

They have a great mix of online and seated classes. Students have the opportunity to tailor a schedule to their needs. I was able to complete a 4 year program in just under 3 years by completing summer courses and doubling up during the school year. The professors range from professionals working in the field to PhD level scholars. I'm extremely grateful to have found this program.

Once you attend the class you can't drop it and some of the instructors are very RUDE. If you fail the class that you cannot drop, you lose your financial aid so please be warned. Take your time and look at other options prior to signing up for this school. Classes are way too accelerated and you will not get a quality education for what you are paying. For $395 a credit hour I really thought it would have been better quality.

You right parallel to the road the whole way round, so there's lots to look at and keep you engaged. There's always plenty of people on the trail, walking, running, taking their dogs on a jog or having a family outing. Since you're always in the sight of traffic and there's almost always a handful of people around, this trail is definitely one of the safer spots in Durham. There's a couple places where there are large roots in the ground and a handful of vehicle entrances that you should be aware of. The downsides are no bathrooms or water fountains (although there's a Whole Foods along the path, so if it's an emergency, I'd recommend running there stat!) Parking is available inside the campus or in the neighborhoods that line the campus. If you're not into running, there are also tennis courts on Duke East, free to play and lighted (there are certain hours, mostly during the day, when the courts are reserved for practice). If you're a beginning runner, this is a great trail to start out on.
