Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The UNC student union now offers several conference rooms, study rooms, lounges, and a large computer lab open for students and faculty. During finals, the union is open to students to reserve conference rooms for study groups. Student clubs often use it to hold their meetings, events, and parties. The union also has a gallery for student artwork. The Student Recreation Center (SRC) has the latest exercise equipment and offers classes taught by certified aerobics instructors. If you are interested in taking a different approach to getting in shape, or if you just want to have fun, Woolen Gym has Olympic-sized swimming pools (one indoor and one outdoor) and many full-size basketball courts.

Playmakers Theatre holds performances with directors, producers, and actors from across the nation. Students interested in theater can take drama classes or join drama clubs and direct or produce plays at Playmakers Theatre. There’s always a show to catch. The Campus Y is a division of Student Affairs that promotes the “pursuit of social justice through the cultivation of pluralism.” The Y sponsors 19 outreach programs including Big Brother, HYPE: Helping Youth by Providing Enrichment, and HOPE: Hunger and Homeless Outreach Project.

Libraries

The libraries at UNC are definitely central to student life. There are plenty of computers and printing servers available at the UL and Davis Library. The UL is nicely appointed and is a very comfortable place. Davis library is where many student prefer to study (as do I). The facilities at Davis are nice but the place is a little unkempt. Group study rooms could use new carpet and more comfortable chairs.

Libraries Are an Amazing Resourse

One great thing about UNC is that is has a lot libraries which gives students multiple styles of environments to do well. Libraries are also labeled as a focus of study. For example, we have the Health Science Library for a more medical perspective and Wilson Library for more of the liberal arts view.This is one of the biggest advantages of going to school at UNC.

Libraries

The libraries are nice study spaces but I feel like they get really crowded during exam times.

Favorite Things To Do

The question here should be: “What isn’t there to do?” There is always something to do and somewhere to go on campus. No matter what you want to do—work out, play sports, watch television to pass the time between classes, catch a student production of Death of a Salesman—UNC will have it.

Ram’s Head Rec Center is the newest state-of-the-art facility UNC offers. With its 3 basketball courts (one with inset soccer goals and dasherboards for roller and floor hockey), an indoor track, indoor climbing wall, and excellent weight training equipment, you have no excuse to not stay in shape, and beat the Freshmen 15.
