Around Town

Head to any Carolina sporting event; we have many successful teams.

Many students go out to eat on Franklin Street which is right by campus. Sports, especially basketball, is another popular choice.

Fun things are available to students everywhere in Chapel Hill. There is always a fun activity on campus, athletic events are a blast, and Franklin Street boasts a multitude of things to do on weekends.

Drinking and watching sports. If you don't like either, you're SOL.

Go to Carrboro, Raleigh, or Durham.

Franklin Street!

For fun most students join clubs and participate in their activities, attend fraternity parties off-campus and go to basketball/football games. Apart from this there is not an extreme amount of things to do in Chapel Hill, especially if you are too young to go to a bar. There is not much hiking in the area and there are not all that many good places just to hang out besides in the quad.

UNC's close proximity to Franklin Street in Chapel Hill provide ample opportunities for students to experience student-oriented nightlife. There are also many on-campus events every weekend for students to participate in such as movie viewings, formal dances, and performances.

There are clubs for any interest, performances every weekend by a dance club or acting troupe, speakers that come here, and several small intimate venues for concerts.

There are different shops and clubs on Franklin St., Southpoint mall in Durham is 10 minutes away (you can catch the bus) and the university also hosts events throughout the week and weekend like concerts or movie screenings that are free or of little cost to students.
