The new and improved UNC bucket list

With help from the Order of The Bell Tower, The Daily Tar Heel published a Bucket List of 100 things that every student should do before he or she graduates from UNC in 2011. We've updated the list in 2017 to include newer locations, faces (hey, Carol Folt) and things to do.

Some are less difficult to accomplish than others, but all are worth trying out in your four (or more) years as a student at UNC. 

The General Alumni Association sponsors a bucket list book — True Blue — which you can learn more about by clicking here.
