Wonderful school tucked away in the mountains. Some of the classes for particular programs tend to be timed poorly but it just means an extra semester at this amazing facility.
After a few years now, I am still impressed with classes over all. The administration on the other hand needs a reality check. They still held finals during a snow storm without notice or consideration to any of the students.
They cheat you out of your money, and the liberal arts core is ridiculous. After 1 semester, I am transferring. This place is nothing like the sugarcoated admissions brochures make it out to be.

Princeton Review's #1 school on a list of the top schools in America for making an impact! Proud to have her as my alma mater, class of '12.
My years at UNCA were truly magical. It was a safe and beautiful space to go through the tumbler which allowed me to be whatever I wanted or needed to be. I was a biologist, a musician, an artist, a historian, an astronomer, an ancient gardener, a condom fairy, and the list goes on I was taught leadership, and praised for curiosity. I was shown how connected every facet of the world is while learning the depressing truth of how disconnected humans have been. We were encouraged to be explorers, leaders, and volunteers in our home of Asheville. Professors always had time to answer my many questions, and many have become lifelong friends. I would do good to remember I'm a daughter of this incredibly special place more often.
My only wish is that the professional network was better established for those ready to find jobs. Other than that Beautiful campus. Great housing. Incredible professors. Wonderful students. Amazing city. The list goes on.
Go Bulldogs!
This school's ability to manage your money is nonexistent. Save your receipts or they will screw you so hard. No accountability to be had on their end. One semester and I am done.
I'm just doing this for the 2 star
Located out of HighSmith Union free thrift store, Rosetta's Kitchen is here, full gourmet vegetarian and vegan menu. Public library. Free and paid events. Writing Center located in Ramsey Library. Free PC repair for students also located in the library. Many varieties of positive environments for students
Go here if you want to really learn something. The faculty is outstanding and they are able to really focus on and engage with each student. Its very easy to make friends and tends to attract passionate people. Only caution/criticism is the town of Asheville itself. Its housing crisis/public transit/infrastructure(sidewalks,crosswalks) are all a disaster and will really inconvenience students who aren't rich despite the lower tuition. Also the town is not hospitable to people of color despite the school being very much so.No communities of color, no hair salons/barber shops, haircare stores, restaurants, venues etc. Town basically shuts down at 7 pm except for bars. Virtually no middle class, just extremely rich Floridians or heartbreakingly poor natives. However, if you are able to comfortably live and focus on your studies despite these things, it is worth it because the school is great. If you know you will struggle with these things, it isnt worth trouble.
Loved it, underdog productions, writing center, free pc repair, free public library. Game room, Knowledgeable people staff students bright outlook for unca students
Unc Asheville is the best college that you could go to. It has amazing teachers, courses and you meet life long friends. I have the best memories from my years at UNCA!!
