I'm biased....I graduated from here and look how I turned out..........oops. Perhaps that is not…read morethe best way to review. I went here a while ago and it has changed a lot since then. But the school continues to have a great faculty, staff, and programs that I'd go back for a second time if I could *grin*. Serious about both academics and sports, you can tell by the amount of development that has occurred in both those areas over the last 10 years or so. The campus is compact to say the least and getting to class is a breeze no matter where you are on campus. The town of Boone is right there so food, drink, and everything else is right at a students finger tips. FYI....the steam tunnels are still fun to explore if you don't get caught......*evil grin*

How U.S. News and World Reports can say this is the #2 public school in the South is beyond me…read more Somebody clearly didn't go here. More like the Jerry Springer Show. No class whatsoever. When is the "up and coming" Business School going to be up? Looked like half the classes were taught by grad students, many who got there jollies off on flunking the students. The highest grade in the class on one test was 39 and tested on things that were not presented in the class or book. By the end, well over half dropped the class. And, we're going to pay money for this? I don't think so. You're not learning in this type of educational environment. People here, no class whatsoever. Screaming out windows, lacking in social skills. Regret ever seeing the place. Don't Walk....Run away from this school.

The process of onboarding has been very pleasant and the school has been very helpful. The location and campus is beautiful. The freshman dorms can use a little tender loving care to improve the appearance but not enough to deduct considering all of the other amazing qualities such as the staff and student leaders. It is very apparent that this school cares greatly about their students and offers many services to help them.

I have been meaning to write this review for several weeks. Our elementary school daughters spent…read morethe summer in the Boone/Blowing Rock community. We were looking for a safe and intellectually nurturing summer tutoring program to keep up with their French, math, and reading a few days a week. Dr. Reeder and her team were wonderful. Our girls enjoyed each class, which is not easy in the summer. The tutors were excellent, graduate students at the local university. I strongly recommend HCA.

Bright storefront for ceramic artists and I was so enamored with looking at all the different artistic styles I initially missed that it was also a working studio space! Wheels behind the checkout counter, a kiln room and more. I picked a treasure to take home and chatted with the young woman who rung me up. I asked if she made pottery and she did- we ended up trading some art! My fav for connecting to other artists. I cannot wait to be up in this area again to explore The Pottery Lot again!
