Launched in the fall semester by the College of Arts & Sciences, Carolina Away is a virtual program that allows first-year and transfer students to take remote courses and explore new opportunities at UNC-Chapel Hill from anywhere in the world.

But Carolina Away is more than just remote classes. It’s a way for Tar Heels to meet their classmates and begin building lifelong connections.

Hear from Carolina Away students to learn about their experience in the program.
