A popular “selfie” place, currently under construction for updates to the wooden structures. The fountain used to be UNC’s only source of water. Tradition states if you drink from the fountain your first day of class, you will have good luck, or all A’s!Also a picturesque place to take graduation pictures.It’s just a lovely, romantic area.March 22, 2019

Always love the view from the south building back steps.

Its beautiful.

Im not a tar heel but I appreciate the significance for them.

Life long tar heels fan. Great place to visit

Stayed at the Old East dorms and the old well was nearby. It is a great place to take a good memory picture of UNC.

Historical slot at UNC Chapel Hill. Great place for iconic photography

A nice place of history. It is a simple looking structure in a simple looking park, but it has a large meaning to the students.

Great place for senior portraits for UNC graduates

A land mark on the campus of UNC. Always a great place to take pictures.

Beautiful landmark in the center of UNCs campus

Beautiful place. Was here for a tour, and thoroughly enjoyed the campus and this highlight

One of the greatest landmarks of NC. The history of the Old Well dates back to the late 1700s and makes for a great venue for taking photos. Remember this incoming freshman to take a drink before you start your first class and you could make straight As your first semester. Theres magic in the water. Make sure to go to class and study!

Nice Construction. Easy to walk to. Beautiful setting.

Beautiful campus! Walking around the fields near the old well was such a wonderful experience. It was November, but it was still warm enough that I could stay outside for hours enjoying the sun, and sitting in the shade under the beautiful trees all around the well. I had such a pleasant morning there! Great place, great history, and walking around here is an absolute must-do for any visit to Chapel Hill.

This is a beautiful place in fall and in spring. I had my graduation photos and engagement photos taken at the old well and the bell tower.

One of my favorite places in town. It is very quiet and peaceful here. My dog loves to patrol squirrels around the park.

Love learning the history and seeing the beautiful site.

Beautiful campus! Lots of History. A wonderful place just to walk around in. It makes it that much better when one of your kids are going there!

I wouldnt drive across country to see this, but if you are on campus it is a cool piece of history. It was clean and well maintained. Our kids got a kick out of being able to drink from the water fountain over the well. Beautiful location for taking pictures. Been there, done that, check in the box type of place, but the UNC campus is a nature filled enjoyable walk that is always enjoyed.

Beautiful spring blooms

Rich with history. The live oak branches hanging around the well add to the overall historic moment.

I finally got to check out the Old Well after the Duke vs Carolina game. All the better after a Carolina victory!

Great experience drinking from the well! Wish there was an information plaque to provide some more history.

Our precious mark of Tar Heeldom. Really nice family landmark to visit with beautiful flowers around and of course the pure, refreshing 4.0 water

Beautiful campus, all brick paver walkways, large old trees, historic buildings, we were very impressed when we visited.

The well was very cool and interesting to see how old it is

A cool site on UNCs campus. Also a great site for photos.

Most photographed place in Chapel Hill! The rumor is take a drink of water from the Old Welll the first day of class and you will get straight As that semester. No proof of this anywhere being true but that does not stop 1000s of students lining up every semester.

Really nice but big disappointment with the fountain: the water dosent come out

It was amazing! Makes a person feel very nonchalant.

Nothing much except for a tap and a domed structure built around it..

My lovely place!

Went for a college tour! Beautiful campus!!

Great place to get your family picture taken. GO HEELS

Im honestly amazed at how well kept the thing is!

It is interesting, I liked the story around it, but it is far from spectacular.

Its a great space!

Its an absolutely beautiful and historic place.

Full of history, everyone at UNC Chapel Hill were super friendly.

You can drink water here. Walking area behind is nice. I dont know if the southern states soldier statue is still there. Personally I feel sad about sacrifice of the soldiers. But memorabilia of leftover of slavery looked not so attractive.

Its a Well that gives you magical powers. Will try again!

Its an historic and iconic place to know.

I could see how beautiful it typically is, sadly when we went it was under renovation

This is the very symbol of UNC, and a great place to get a photo.

Very popular spot. Great place for photos. 2 near by Pokemon gyms. Witnessed multiple graduation pictures and a proposal here. Water fountain in case youre thristy.

I don’t know but the water tasted a bit weird...

If you like historic places (much of the campus) its much more than just another well.

Iconic UNC spot on campus!

Beautiful place to take some great pictures

It was so pretty but they were working on some restorations

One of the historical landmarks od the UNC Chapel Hill college campus. It is located right in the middle of the hussle and bussle of college classrooms and is a popular spot for students to meet between classes to chat. It has lots of beautiful old trees around its area where students sit on the lawn and do homework or simply take a breather between classes. It is such a truly old and beautiful campus.

If you are a Tar Heel fan then it is a must see!!!

Pretty cool spot. Myst see.

Its always fun to see iconic pieces of the world. Plus, UNC - Charlotte is a beautiful campus.

Beautiful location for pictures, not much else to it other than an old well

This old well is good for graduate applicant to understand history of the UNC.

Great place for a picture! Beautiful part of Carolinas campus. Make sure to walk down to Franklin street and enjoy. Go HEELS!

Iconic, has a waterfall in the middle

Southern tip of Heaven.

Very old place containing lot of historical information and lot of trees to relax

Visited this landmark on my UNC tour. Very cool to drink from something so historic.

In North Carolina, on their Campus.Beautiful place.

FDOC students line up to take a drink for a 4.0 GPA

Im a double Tar Heel (alum & employee) so the Old Well holds a special place in my heart. Great symbol of the University and for wealth and prosperity (both knowledge and financial). Great place to take pics!

Historic heart of UNC Chapel Hill. Get water from this fountain

Historical and with beautiful surroundings.

Visited with my son who wants to attend in 4 years when hes out of high school.Very friendly and beautiful. Such a historical place.

Beautiful part of campus.

Cool historical place to see. A lot of fun stuff to learn about in the area.

Nice going for a walk.

Great if u your into it

This is a symbol of UNC, and every piece of UNC licensed sports apparel incorporates artwork depicting the Old Well in its logo. And legend has it that if you take a drink from its water fountain you will have good luck or whatever thing you are wishing for.

Historic and attractive. Main draw is student traditions.

Great for pics!

A pretty place that makes an excellent setting for pictures.

Great place to go

An iconic photo opportunity for any Tarheel fan

The symbol of UNC Chapel Hill. The actual well is long gone but there is a drinking fountain here. Be sure to snap your obligatory picture then move on to enjoy the rest it the beautiful UNC campus.

Beautiful and historic. Must-see monument in Chapel Hill.

Great experience seeing the old well

Its a stationary icon of UNC, and the campus. Not too sure the water fountain is always operational, though.

Decent Mexican inspired food.

The logo of UNC Chapel Hill, first public University of USA

It was boring, just a water fountain.. if i was running i would over look it as any other fountain. Dude, it didnt even work it trickled.

Not a UNC fan at all, but the campus is great for walking around on a beautiful day. Also great for Pokemon Go players!

Iconic image of The University

So glad I got lost on the way to my appt. What a gorgeous campus!

Historic setting with a beautiful well on UNC. Highly recommended.

Beautiful well, but dont drink the water.
