Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Anthropology  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright I am a freshman, out of state. This was my first choice and overall, I'm quite pleased. Asheville is an AMAZING city with beautiful people, lots of great food (especially for vegetarians), and a lot of bikes, buses, etc. It's a very green city. We actually haven't had gas for about 3 weeks because it's hurricane season and we're between pipelines but we're doing just fine! :) I am also impressed with the Anthropology department here. We don't have the major approved yet but we have all of the classes for it and the department seems very well developed. My only gripe is that I'm so far from home. I thought I'd be able to handle 8 hours but after half of the semester, I still feel unrooted...like I haven't made any real connections or lasting relationships and I miss my family. Being in Governor's Hall makes it harder because my suite opens up straight outside and I don't know anyone on my hall. Asheville seems to do a really good job with roommates though-no problems there. All of the faculty has been really helpful and supportive. Some kids go off campus to party on the weekends. Local parties are within walking distance but it's not difficult to avoid if that's not your bag... Education Quality: A+, Social Life: B+ Have a Question?

The professors are good at presenting the curriculum that UNCA offers, but the problem is the curriculum. It is so old! Times and technology change rapidly and UNCA is still in the stone age.

It was the best move that I could have made. All of the professors were very helpful. Most of them were very good teachers. I got a great view of life and background education in so many different areas from their liberal arts perspective. I would not take it back for anything!

Coming from a larger city in the North I find it strange to hear some of the comments made in classes about minorities, as if they are a foreign species. If you want individual attention teachers can give it to you. Personally I'm not very concerned with that. For me the school is too small but I do like the quietness and safety of the campus. On the other hand a lot of the buildings are really like that of a run-down high school from the seventies, so luckily they are doing renovations on campus but in the meantime theres lots of construction and less parking.
