Laid back college

Introduction
When considering Western Carolina University(WCU), a student must think of the setting. WCU is located in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains. There are no large cities in the area. I chose WCU because of its low cost and the recognized education program. Students seeking a city life as well as Med. and Law majors, should stay away from WCU.

Campus Life and Social Life
The best part of the social life is the outdoor activties. There is local rafting, hiking, climbing, and biking. At WCU there are many parties on the weekend that everyone can attend. The Intramural program includes many sports, so there is something for everyone. Advertisement
Academics
The Nursing, Education, Criminal Justice, and Atheletic training departments are excellent at WCU.
The Engineering, Business, Communications, Music, and English departments are poor.
The teachers and TAs are good and care a lot about the students, mostly because the classes are small.
The workload is light in most departments.

Student Body
The sports here are not competitive. Our football team is horrible. The partying is great. There is party almost every night of the week. It is easy to make friends because it is a small school. The only real "clicks" are between the greeks and the non greeks.

In Closing...
If you love the outdoors and want a cheap education, then Western Carolina University is the place for you.
