Chapel Hill, and the greater Triangle area, is consistently ranked as one of the best places to live and work. Our town is bike-friendly, walkable, eclectic, safe, affordable, diverse and green. Our students love the temperate weather and the easy access to activities in the Triangle, on the coast and in the mountains.
Each spring, Experience Gillings provides admitted students a way to connect directly with current students and members of the School’s faculty and staff.
