CAMPUS SUMMARY
Since opening its doors as the nation's first public university in 1789, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has earned a reputation for one of the best universities in the world.

We offer one of the strongest and most diverse student bodies in the nation, with more Rhodes Scholars over the last five years than any other public university and the seventh most overall We are known as “best value” in the nation among public universities by Kiplinger’s Personal Finance eight consecutive times for outstanding merit-based scholarships, such as the Morehead-Cain, Pogue, and Robertson, as well as a need-based aid program that that meets full need and enables low-income students to graduate debt-free through the Carolina Covenant.
