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.

I have been to well over 300 college campuses and Tusculum's beauty is right up there with the top I have ever been to. The college was founded in 1797 I believe and the buildings and grounds reflect the historic, nostalgic feel that you would expect from a college campus. I didn't have the chance to go in many buildings but the exterior of the campus looks great. VERY pleasantly surprised.

Very solid Computer Science program (that's what I'm graduating from) with lots of employeers coming here to recruit. I had no problems finding a good job.

I did not attend the LMU, but was caught by the historical marker out front and had to stop. It's…read morecertainly an impressive campus and the mission of the university sounds amazing. The marker has the same text on both sides. It starts with a quote and reads, "'If you come through this misery alive... I want you to do something for all those mountain people who have been shut out of the world all these years.' These words of President Abraham Lincoln to General O. O. Howard in 1863 proved to be the catalyst for the founding of LMU. Chartered on February 12, 1897, as a liberal arts university and the home of the Abraham Lincoln Museum. LMU continues its mission of providing an advanced education to people of this region." Next time I am through here, I will try to time it so that I can visit the museum.

I went to this university twice...both times on the same day--for graduations. One at 9 AM and one…read moreat 1:00 PM. 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.
