Thanks for your inputs Aau. Thats sort of the same response I got from a whole bunch of people when I was down there last weekend. The students seem to live in a few specific communities (apartments - Station Nine, the lofts etc). The one thing that sort of made me wonder is the fact that if you need to go to a bar, it has to be in Chapel Hill (atleast the person I spoke to mentioned it). Also my wife is in IT and apparently the job scene for her field is pretty good.
The one downside (of sorts) is the Grade disclosure policy. I was not really pleased with that but Aau- could you throw some light on that? How does it impact interactions amongst the students etc?
Ok, as for career stuff, it's not a big deal. You give recruiters that info if you wish - though of course the usual probably applies: in certain industires, it's all but required.
Around here, it's really about team fuqua. there is little competition and lots of support. Grades aren't disclosed publicly - you know yours and can share or not. I have a friend who REFUSES to say anything about grades - she's funny like that. Generally, those with great grades get a little ribbing and admiration; those with bad grades (btw - with our curve, they're rarely bad) get sympathy. And most of us float down the middle.
