Im actually from Charlotte. UNCC is a nice school; I might be taking some summer classes there in some things I want but dont have time to at UNC-CH.

I totally agree. Part of the issue is that Im not willing to sacrifice my ability to do things with my friends for an A in some cases. Obviously, Id like to do the best I can, but if getting an A requires me to become a slave to the books 24/7, well, Ive decided that there are things that Ill look back on 20 years from now and value a bit more than time spent in the library.

I will assume that since you said "write code" that you are a computer science major. This is a rough major because all of the cool stuff you want to do is Grad level. AI, VR, graphics, and signal processing, its all Grad courses.
Im actually an Econ major, CS is a hobby of mine. Ive worked internships with CS for the past 4 summers, and decided that I dont want to write code for a living nor have my job sent to India.

Oh and think about studying abroad, it is a great opportunity.
Way ahead of you on that one... Im planning on spending all next year in Germany.
