Meet Misha, a first year out-of-state student at UNC Chapel Hill.
Through this website you will learn all about her experience so far, her first 8 weeks, in North Carolina.
Being an out-of-state student, only making up around 20% of the student population, she has a very unique opportunity to share her story.
She will tell you about the good and bad of our state and university from a student perspective..
With that, you may be able to take away some differing opinions and experiences that you normally wouldn’t get from such a in-state dominated institution.
Misha attended Watchung Hills Regional High school in Warren Township, New Jersey
Through these four years, she made very personable and loving friendships, those in which she is so happy to have formed.
She explains in her interview the differences in high school vs. now, being both positive and negative. She misses her friends, but is also grateful for the special relationships she's ben able to make here so far.
“There’s also a lot of diversity here on campus which is something that I appreciate and something that I was looking for because I grew up in a predominantly white town and went to a predominantly white high school.”
