If you need to be in a place where there's a Target and a Best Buy around the corner, WCU's not for you, but if you want an excellent education at a great price in the prettiest place in the Southeast, you should check out WCU. If you're a tourist, be sure to check out the Fine and Performing Arts Center, the Mountain Heritage Center, or watch some Catamount athletics.

Yeah, I know....how enthralling can a place of education be on such a usually ponderous time? This university is a Baptist school, and so much warmer than I recall my four years at the Baptist College at Charleston (now Charleston Southern University) in the late 1960s. The level of staff and the outreach of students and professors at Carson-Newman during, before and after the two graduations (having to be split into two due to heavy rain being predicted, and thus moved inside instead of in their football stadium) impressed me and warmed me. How many universities have a university hymn sung at graduation and have Psalm 100 read during graduation. It just warmed my heart on this recent Friday (their graduations are always on Fridays).

Beautiful sports facilities, but you can tell that's where all the school's money goes. I stayed…read morehere for a week of summer camp and upon entering my designated dorm (that looks like a prison facility), both beds, dressers and tables had a layer of dust on them. Room was musty, and the floor was grimy. I woke up feeling gross after 1 night. As for the resident hall bathroom: I have literally stayed in 3rd world country mission houses with cleaner showers. There is mildew and mold caked on every shower head and wall. Absolutely disgusting. Would not recommend without disposable shower shoes. Cafeteria food is ok, but I opted for fast food at most meals over the mystery meatloaf. Facilities outside of the sports and activities centers look a little worse for wear. Probably haven't been updated in 20 years or so. Not to mention there wasn't working AC on in the main building where sessions were being held. All this to say, I'm not sure I'd like to stay here again, and I honestly couldn't imagine living in these conditions as a student on campus.

After a quick restroom break at the local BP gas station (which has tons of students), I drove onto campus and parked in front of the main administrative building with a memorial bell tower. There's a nice historical marker on the early days of ETSU - which is a public university. The main campus felt surprisingly empty on a Sunday afternoon, but perhaps students were studying for their final exams and completing final papers in their dorm rooms or in the library before May graduation. Although I did not do a formal campus visit, the grounds are pretty and worth a quick visit if you're driving through Johnson City TN and looking for a short pit stop.

As a full disclaimer, I'm not a student here. I visit ETSU Campus every Thursday night with my friend who shows up for is CRU Meeting. This place doesn't just feel like home for students. It feels like home for non students as well. It's just that welcoming. But one of the absolute biggest high points of this campus is, it's the home of ETSU-Con. For those of you who don't know what ETSU-Con is, it's a Anime/Gaming convention held on ETSU Campus itself. They have panels, cosplayers, and even a yearly Costume Contest. But instead of blabbing on and on about ETSU-Con, why don't I just show you what it's like?
