I will be in Chapel Hill pretty much all summer, might get a summer job but I'd love to start making connections too. Let me know if you (or anyone) wants to grab a beer/coffee sometime!

Just heard back about negs, it went great! I just went from 99% locked in to ready to make the seat deposit!

Im gonna try to make it to 4/7, but I work full time so it'll depend on how much PTO I have left. Reallllly want to make it though

Just went to the library to pick up some of the suggested summer reading. "Actual Innocence" is sooooo good so far!

if youre looking for a good and quick legal read, the buffalo creek mine disaster is unbelievably good.

One of my final 2 options.


Anyone know if there has been any update on the Facebook page for Admitted Students? I very well may need a roommate.

I haven't heard anything yet. I know some schools offer housing/roommate placement resources through their admissions office though, you might contact them to see if there is anything like that.

Sweet!

Hellloooo! Essentially locked in aside from one last decision I'm awaiting. Just wanted to check in. Go heels!

The Facebook page is live!

Hey y'all! I know this is not that important, but does anyone know what events, especially theatre and sports, we get free admission to as students?

I think I read that we get free admission to baseball and football games with our one card but I am really not sure about anything else

All sporting events are free! For basketball though, you enter a lottery and if you get selected, you are given two tickets. All other sports are guaranteed admission. Not sure about theatre. I know there are lots of accapella groups but they normally have a small fee ($3-8ish range).
