I decided to go to WCU on a whim in my senior year of high school, when I could've been accepted to UNC or NC State with ease. I have to say that the experience I have had here is just phenomenal. I love the campus, the people, the teachers- everything is wonderful. The campus is absolutely beautiful. It's quite small, of course, but that makes it so accessible. Even the furthest parking lot is nowhere NEAR how far away as the parking in some colleges, and even though there is not enough parking lots, if you plan your trips well you will never be stuck walking very far. The mountains are gorgeous. I have never had a problem with people drinking or partying. The professors (especially those in the English department) are exceedingly friendly and helpful, and most of the residence halls are very well maintained. If you are big on clubbing or the city scene, I would recommend not coming here, as the surrounding towns are very small. But Asheville is only a 40 minute drive for more entertainment. If you are looking for a great education at a great price on a beautiful campus, then come to Western.
