We are the lowest cost public liberal arts university in the state of NC!

My freshman year, I would of given the school 4 stars. As time has progressed, however, I've come to see how much money this university wastes on frivolous things (they're wanting to build a full baseball stadium... why? Have more than 5 people ever gone to a UNCA baseball game?

In comparison with the other liberal arts colleges around the country, the University of North Carlina at Asheville is a very good price. Campus living is a bit pricey and frankly not enough bank for one's buck; however, the education that a willing student can receive is more than enough to make up for the university's shortcomings.

As an art student, I'd say it isn't. Howver, if you are a Biology, Chemistry, Psychology, Environmental major or etc, then UNCA is the place for you. UNCA science department is connected to UNC Chapel Hill's, which has a very good program. Many students who attend UNCA then apply to Chapel Hill are more likely to receive acceptance than other students from other schools.

Personally, since tuition is rising I don't think there is that bang for the buck like they advertise, especially for an out of state student.
