Around Town

Ashevile is full of exciting things to do. Downtown is a fun place to go shopping, listen to music, and more. Enjoy a weekly drum circle downtown, or go hiking on the weekends. Asheville has tons of great festivals and is rich in arts and culture.

The beach tree deck is beautiful in the spring and summer. The school also buys a lot of student artwork and hangs them in the buildings. Because Asheville is beautiful anyway the views are always nice.

It is not far from downtown so you can always escape there in an eclectic coffee house, bar, restaurant etc. Plus being surrounded by such beautiful mountains you are literally minutes from awesome mtn biking or hiking.

Hike, bike, ride horses, canoe, whitewater rafting, art appreciation, etc.

Because A-B Tech is a community college, students do not have the dorm and typical college experience on campus. There are some groups who enjoy throwing frisbee or chatting on a lawn but other than that most students come to class and then head home to study.

The nearby Appalachian trail and Parkway offer scenic views and lots of hiking trails. The French Broad River can be used for boating, fishing, tubing and kayaking. Several live music events go on in the down town area every week. Movie theatres and playhouses are also in the area.

AB-Tech has sports intramurals that are a lot of fun to be apart of. The student government and staff put on a lot of fun activities with music, food, and booths.
