UNCA’s
265-acre campus is two miles from vibrant downtown Asheville, which is
the metropolitan center of Western North Carolina. Named one of the “Top
10 Best Places to Live in the U.S.A.” by Money magazine, Asheville
scores exceptionally high on “quality of life” scales. In addition to
its spectacular mountain setting, close to the Pisgah National Forest,
the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the
city boasts an exceptionally lively arts and music scene.
