Personal recommendation
if you are an international student try to get a room on the CGC-floor (Carolina Global Community) in South Quad. You live with international and American students, they organize trips and events and it's just great.
If you like to experience the South of America (laid-back, Southern friendliness and hospitality, but also conservativism and sometimes narrow-mindedness) it's the right university for you.

All in all: IT WAS GREAT!
seize the chance to travel around, you will probably never get this possibility again (at least not under these circumstances)
don't take too many courses at school! very important. you're there to experience sth. new and see everything, so don't just "waste" your time on studying 24/7
