Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Incoming freshman, don't pick a major. Play around with different classes the first year while still getting your general education classes under your belt. This allows you to get a better understanding of the different majors and pick the best for you.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Depending on the teacher, most classes are tough and require a lot of out of class time.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorm life is what you make it! If you choose to be friendly to your roommate and surrounding neighbors you'll have a great dorm life. The RA's and RD's are always super helpful with getting you involved in campus life.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food is ok, but improving. Six out of the seven days of the week it is pretty decent.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
If you get involved in campus activities, you will always have something to do. Asheville is also 20 minutes away, and there is never a dull moment in that city. Tons of restaurants, art gallerys, and parks. Not to mention you are in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, you can hike and camp to your hearts content.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Outdoorsy stuff, like camping and hiking is free and fun! But if you want to go out into asheville it can get pricy. The tuition is high as well, but financial aid is usually pretty helpful.
