North Carolina Trivia

UNC opened it doors to students on February 12, 1795. Wikipedia
As I was researching this I found two other universities that claim this title..
The University of Georgia received its charter in 1785 but did not admit students until 1801.
and The College of William and Mary ranks up there as one of the oldest schools.
UNC does hold the distinction that it was the first to hold classes as a State University.
All good to know.
I hope they ask you this question at your next trivia game.
