    Western Carolina University is amazing!!…read more As I write this review I am a Junior. I love Western Carolina because ALL of the staff are really nice and respectful. The professors, janitors, student workers, peers... everyone! I have never had a professor here who was hard to deal with. Each are very unique and well experienced in what they teach. The first two years you must live on campus, which can be hard to adjust to, but in the end, gives you a great experience that will be worth the while. The campus is really beautiful and there are many things to do. The gym is really nice and it is two stories. There is a track, weight lifting equipment, treadmills and various cardio machines, a rock wall, and a basketball court which can double as a volleyball court. You can rent games or sports equipment with your cat card. Western also hosts tons of events like concerts, fairs, karaoke, etc... All of which are free to WCU students. The sporting events are also free to students because it is covered by the athletic fee. They are very cool to attend. Western Carolina is also very accessible to students and people with disabilities. We are the first school in the country to offer a University Participant program (UP), offering students with disabilities a chance to come to college for 2 years and gain college life experience. The program helps individuals to become more independent so that they can one day live on their own and have a job for themselves. The UP students are not separated from other students, rather, they are included in the mix with all other students and their classes. It's great! Let's talk tuition! Compared to other universities in North Carolina, Western is pretty cheap. We have NC promise which takes a lot off of tuition, and also, books here are free (very, very, few classes require out of pocket book fees) I have met out of state students who have come to Western because it is cheaper for them to pay out of state tuition here than it is for them to pay in state in their own states!

    We took a tour of the campus. Our tour guides gave a 5 star tour. I was very impressed with their…read moreenthusiasm and knowledge of the campus. The campus is beautiful and it seems like a tight knit community. It is nestled in the beautiful mountains of NC. Schedule a tour!

    Summit At Cullowhee - My shoes that were in the closet for 2 months before turning moldy.

    They have so much mold in their apartments, they only cover it up with bleach and then put it on…read morethe lease that you are responsible for it. Mold can cause so many health problems, this is the reason why after the hurricane and flooding people couldn't go back into their homes. Mold can attack the central nervous system and cause upper respiratory system problems, bronchitis, and even feelings of dizziness. Black mold can even effect the brain over long periods of exposure. On top of that, they have audio and video in the lease. Yet I see no security cameras. Why the audio, does that mean some psychopath is listening in on us in the apartments or watching us? You will have them come in with hardly no notice, to spray for bugs every month. I could see every 3 months but every month. That stuff made me and my cat sick, with a headache for a couple days. If you have an autoimmune disorder, lung problems, are sensitive to mold, bug spray, and apparently don't care about the strange lease with audio and video on it, even if you have children, then by all means rent here. Oh and the lady Debbie in the office, seems to know a lot about you, even when you don't tell her. Although, that could just be due to the DV advocate, with conflict of interest with the masons, that had me rewrite the lease, that I can't find after my email account was hacked. Bug spray constantly inside can cause headache, fatigue, itchy and red eyes, as well as vomiting and dizziness. Oh, don't go to Reach either, if you want your situation staying private. Oh and the neighbors above walk back and forth like Bigfoot in steal toe boots day and night, they also bang on the floor all hours of the night.

    Summit at Cullowhee also owns 4214 West which is a greater hellhole than the summit. As you…read morestudents and parents decide where you should live to pursue off campus living, consider this review. There is black mold everywhere, they have painted over it in the bathroom for god knows how many years. Since the bathroom is attached to the closets on both sides, there is a mold issue within the closets as well. Management will brush you off and tell you to run a dehumidifier. There are Asian lady beetles that infest the buildings. You have a laundry room that never has all the washing machine or dryers working. If they are all working another resident is likely to leave their wet clothes in the washing machine for days and you are expected to use the machine after that. Management ignores all the dog shit left everywhere around the apartment complex but management trying to scalp people for feeding stray cats outside and calling it a lease violation. instead of tending to the cats and taking them to a shelter, they "claim it could cause a flee infestation." Every apartment complex in Cullowhee is despicable. Rent at this apartment complex SHOULD NOT be more than $1000, you would be wasting your health, finances, and maybe even your own property by living here (my $100 pair of shoes ruined because of the disgusting mold infestation). You will pay $25 each year for a sticker so you won't get towed and pay another $240. Just money on top of money flowing into a place that does nothing to make the property better. Sad that property managers don't take more pride in creating a safe and healthy environment for young adults to attempt to contribute to society.

    Save yourself time and don't move here. I just moved out of a one bedroom due to the increase in…read morerent. They wanted me to pay over $1000 a month for a 485 sq ft apartment. If you look at other apartment complexes in the area, you get TWO times the space for that price, and SO many more amenities. I subleased my apartment and they said I was required to move out 2 weeks before the person who I subleased to moved in, so they could clean. I asked them if my last month would be discounted due to them making me leave with two weeks left in the month, and I was told no I had to pay the full month, AND the full double occupancy fee, on top of 75% of one months lease as a "sublet fee". They did do upgrades, but they were poorly done. They didn't measure anything, so when they put the new refrigerator in, I was unable to open my microwave door all the way. I think their pricing is RIDICULOUS for what you get here. They tried to rebrand and make their apartments seem nicer than what they are. By changing the name of the apartment complex, they were able to clear their reviews and 1 star they originally had. I do NOT recommend living here.

    If you're looking for a place to live within walking distance to campus and don't really care about…read morethe quality of unit you might get, then this apartment complex is a considerable option. The office staff was always friendly and welcoming whenever my roommates and I would call or go to the office. Maintenance staff typically responded to maintenance requests within 48 hours. Personally, I think the price of rent here was ridiculously expensive, considering that they're around the same price as other apartment complexes in the area that are newer and in better condition. My friends and I lived here our sophomore year of college and it was early on after we moved in that we decided we wouldn't renew the lease. The reasoning behind our decision was because of the issues we had while living here. First, our A/C went out around 2-3 months after we moved in, the filter and the area around the filter was absolutely disgusting and covered with a thick build up of fur, dust, dirt, etc. A couple months after that, our water heater went out completely and was replaced. A reoccurring issue my roommates and I had were several spots where the carpet was unraveling, which made vacuuming almost impossible because the loose strings would get caught anytime we would clean. Lastly, my car was hit in the Catamount Peak parking lot around March. I went to the front office to let them know, asked them if they could look at the camera footage and see if they could give me any info about who might've done it so I could file a police report since they didn't leave a note. The office staff claimed they looked at the footage and explained because of the angle of the cameras, they couldn't tell who did it. I encourage anyone who is considering living here to read the reviews before making a decision, but I will never recommend this apartment complex to anyone. UPDATE: Please do not sign a lease here. They are scamming college students and charged me and my roommates for damages that were there when we moved in. Save yourself the time and money.
