    Avoid this institution at all costs. This "college" relies heavily on unpaid student labor to keep…read moreits operations running. My experience with staff such as Tacci Smith made learning here especially difficult. She frequently used incorrect pronouns for students and contributed to an environment that felt exclusionary and insensitive, which negatively affected the campus climate. She encouraged a student to harass me through text many times. Tuition is inflated so they can offer a supposedly "generous" financial aid package--most of which is simply compensation for the work students are required to perform. Academically, the campus falls short. Many professors lack true depth of knowledge in their subject areas, which is evident in programs like computer science, where instruction is consistently inadequate. I didn't learn how to write in MLA or APA7 until I transferred out of this "college". It is also concerning that this school offers degrees such as outdoor leadership but lacks any programs leading to licensure, including education or nursing. Students end up paying more than $25,000 a year for a liberal arts degree with credits that often do not transfer, pressuring them to remain at WWC to finish. In addition, the campus lacks ideological and ethnic diversity. The environment fosters a performative student body more focused on appearing loud and "socially aware" than on making meaningful change. Overall, WWC is definitely a degree mill where students learn nothing for a big price.

    While I have good memories here and the students are very LGBTQ centered, the school does very…read morelittle to put effort into accommodating their students and also are not very good at organization. Hurricane Helene definitely has a bit to do with it but they also had issues before. If you want to go to this college, I'm not sure I'd recommend it. Limited class options, the dorms are not nice and honestly I've never seen a college with worse dorms than Warren Wilson. There's no parking and you walk a lot. They put a large emphasis on in person learning so if you're sick or have an emergency basically you're screwed.
