Choose the college you feel most at home in. If the community isn't right for you then you won't enjoy your experience; find a place that you feel like you can be a part of.
The emphasis on community. The school makes sure everyone has a place and is able to make connections. Almost all the students know each other and the professors are the same way.
I choose Lees-McRae because of the Wildlife Biology program. The experiential learning was something that no other schools I was looking at could offer. I also fell in love with the area and the campus community.
Mountain Day of Service because as you drive through Banner Elk you could see all the students spending what could've been a day off from classes serving their community instead.
