Western Carolina University is a relatively small, rural college nestled among the hills and valleys at the edge of Nantahala National Forest. The surrounding community of Cullowhee is very small and largely revolves around the university; in many ways, the town has more in common with an isolated resort community than a typical college town.
The off-campus options for food and drink are somewhat limited, but a few local favorites like Tuck’s Tap and Grille and The Point Coffee House see tons of regulars. Most of the commercial activity in the area can be found about fifteen minutes up the road in Sylva, and the eclectic urban offerings of Asheville are only an hour’s drive away.
The stunning natural landscape of the area makes it an excellent place for folks who love spending time outdoors, with hiking, camping, canoeing, and mountain biking among the favorite pastimes for students and non-students alike.
