Yeah but the problem is that the two really well known and renowned people UNC had in my period have both just retired. So at this point it's not clear who would be advising me. Also I'm from North Carolina and it might be a little too close to home. I grew up on a farm and I go to school in the middle of nowhere, so I really want to be in/near a major metropolitan area. I'm not sure the Triangle qualifies as that for me.
At this point UNC is definately my safety school... It's a great program, it's just that their middle-period continental people are in transition right now. I have a friend from W&L who just started his Ph.D work there, so I'm hoping to get back in touch with him and see what he's feeling. He's doing Italian Renaissance though, and that's not my thing either.
