The Return to In-Person Classes: UNC student struggles and successes

Pit Perspectives UNC Season 1 Episode 3

For our third episode and final release for the fall 2021 semester, we are bringing you student commentary on the return to in-person classes here in Chapel Hill after a year of online school. Hear student opinions on UNC's resources during this transition, how our mental and emotional health has been impacted, and how we feel being back on campus.

Pit Perspectives takes soundbites recorded candidly in The Pit at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and mixes them with commentary and statistics to create a comprehensive review of the student body's thoughts on an important social issue. Our method allows regular students to share anonymous opinions and gives a voice to those who have thoughts on the topic but do not have access to more formal outlets of expression.

There are mentions of depression and mental health issues in this episode.
