I highly recommend Asheville. While it might not be the best place for an incredibly conservative student, it all depends on how well you can listen and respect other peoples ideas.

The city of Asheville has great places to eat, live music all the time, and a bus runs from campus to downtown.

The dorm rooms are amazing. I always brag to my other friends that I don't have to put up with hall bathrooms, and just have to share a bathroom with 4 other people instead of a hall of 20 boys and girls. Also, the rooms are larger than at most schools.

The professors always make time for you

There are your typical preppy students here, but there are more artsy kids by a long shot. There are a good amount of kids who smoke also, if that's an issue.

There aren't a lot of parties in dorms, but a lot of people live in apartments close to campus so the parties are usually there. Also, even though most kids live off campus, pretty much everyone that lives off campus lives within like 2 miles of campus.

Awesome outdoors program!

I love this school, wouldn't imagine going anywhere else. I chose Asheville over Chapel Hill and Cornell. With only 3500 students, safety, and an overall amazing attitude, it was the best choice I've ever made.
