I'm A Tar Heel: Casey Di Nardo Posted Sep 10, 2015 Beyond being the best academically and athletically, the social aspect of UNC was another important factor for me (when choosing a college). I have a big family – 21 cousins! – and we’re extremely close. Coming to Carolina felt like home and now I have an even BIGGER family! After four years here, these girls have become my sisters. I’m Casey Di Nardo and I’m a Tar Heel. (GoHeels.com)
