Western Carolina is developing a solid reputation for its quality academics, nurturing environment, and long-standing campus traditions. It is by far one of the best values for public education in the state of NC. WCU is a member of the Division 1 Southern Conference. Western Carolina is transforming its campus with new dining and residence halls.

I am I first year freshman from about an hour away from Western. I came here thinking I would make a lot of friends. Truth is I didnt. Everyone came in their little cliques just like high schools. Theyre all snobby and arrogant. There are multiple incidents regarding the police nightly. Everyone smokes pot on the hallways and unless youre kissing the RA's ass you'll get in trouble. Many people have been raped, including myself. If I had a daughter I wouldnt let her come here. The campus police do a terrible job and charge people for stuff that never happened. I regret going to this school with every piece of me. The liberal studies classes at this school are useless and I havent learned anything since I've been here. I pay over $1,000 for cafeteria food yet its the same bland stuff everyday. Ive lost weight since I came here because I never eat. It's absolutely disgusting. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME COMING TO THIS SCHOOL! ITS A JOKE!

Its a fun school if you make an attempt. I, myself, was very involved with student activities until the past chancellor ruined any fun that college students were having. Shutting down a fraternity that was not on probation for having 3 beers in the fridge is bullshit, but what can you do. There is some nightlife if kids arent pussies, but many of them are. Western was much better in the 05-09 era.
