Like most students who started their Tar Heel careers in the fall, Ashleigh Roberson’s first year at UNC-Chapel Hill hasn’t been the college experience she planned on when she applied to Carolina.
There haven’t been opportunities for the transfer student from the University of Tennessee to meet other students in person, and navigating academics through remote learning took some time to figure out.
“I felt lost at first,” Roberson said. “Usually, if we were in person, I might be able to meet people through class or just walking or going to the dining hall just basic human interactions like that. But we didn’t really have those, so we just had to rely on Zoom.”
