UNC: heel of a place to be

Best place to eat on campus:
There are a few options if you are looking to grab a bite to eat at chapel hill. If you want something from a chain type restaurant then look to go to Lenoir Mainstreet that has a chic-fil-a and a subway as well as other more well known establishments. I would recommend checking out the Top of Lenoir which is very nice and offers more homemade type dishes. They have pizzas and meats with veggies but they also offer a wide variety of desserts that I was told are made from scratch.

Best place to eat off campus:
I didn't venture very far off campus because there really is no need to go past Franklin St. when looking for good food. there are lots of options but Sutton's was recommended to me and it turned out to be a pretty cool place. It is set in a drug store that has a real pharmacist working there 6 days a week so you can grab a burger while waiting for your valtrex prescription to be filled. They have great milkshakes and make a pretty good hotdog (there you go dad) and both should be tried. I also really liked all of the pictures of UNC students and athletes that are all over the walls, my personal favorite is a young rasheed wallace making his own milkshake. Another carolina staple is Top of the Hill which offers a finer dining experience but also has an amazing view of franklin st and beyond.

Best place to drink:
As with the eating franklin st is your oyster for finding a place to swallow suds with students at chapel hill. Whether you choose to go to the library, the cave, tyler's restaurant and tap room or any of the two dozen bars in the surrounding areas you will find people, and if you don't like the ones you find there are plenty of other bars just a few steps away. I will focus on a bar that I have been to a couple of times and have really enjoyed, Four Corners Sports Bar. With lots of tv's, couch's, and beer pong tables this place is ideal for hanging out with friends and catching a game. They have good drink specials, live music, and an interactive trivia system that lets anyone in the bar compete against each other in a battle of wits.

Athletic venues:
Obviously unc is a basketball first campus and the dean smith cent is not only home to the well recognized basketball court, but also to practice, recreational, and weight facilities. It is a massive tribute to the man who did so much for the university.
Kenan memorial stadium is a great place to watch a football game in my opinion. Even though it can hold 60,000 people the stadium itself feels smaller and more personal. Even though it is home to one of my least favorite moments (damn you connor barth), in memory I still really enjoy being at Kenan.

The baseball stadium is undergoing renovations, but should be a great place to catch college baseball once it is complete.

Miscellaneous:
UNC is what I envision when I think of what a college campus is supposed to be. It has historic elegance, but also has all of the modern amenities that students would need. I also really like that the main drag of bars and restaurants is right across the street making it so students don't have to worry about walking or driving drunk anyplace. Each time I have been there I have had a great time and wanted to go back.
