Review of Western Carolina University

from Kernersville, NC

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

The classes are small enough that the teachers give you the attention you need and make themselves available for you if you need extra help. Western also has great departments for you to choose from. Western has a special department for Entrepreneurship, which I am in. The classes there will help me one day have and run my own bookstore.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

The campus is beautiful in its setting in the mountains. The school holds many activities for you to participate in with your friends. Everyone is friendly and I have made many friends. There are many clubs and organizations for any type of interest.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

The cost to attend is reasonable and the quality of the school is amazing for the low costs. The convenience of food is good and the quality. Western also provides many services to help you academically, advisors are there to help step by step. They have disability services and Student Support Services.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Make sure you attend class everyday. Have a personal relationship with your advisor - they are there to help you. Use the library, they have great resources for you and the people who work there can help you. Use the writing center, they will help you with your papers.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Mountain lovers should attend here. Students who want a great education for low costs should attend here. Students who want to be part of great friendly and easy going environment should attend here. If you don't want to have a pay for text books, Western has a rental system.
