Its small enough that you'll recognize or know a lot of people, but big enough that everyone is not in your business. The smaller class sizes are a huge advantage because you are able to get more time with the professor when you need help.

    The campus is really nice and the school feels big but actually is small. They offer the interior design program i was looking for. This school is perfect for what I was looking for.

    Western Carolina University has a beautiful campus that is surrounded by mountains. You can go hiking and go white water rafting. Its cold up there so make sure to bring a jacket.
