Pros

The community of Boone, NC is an amazing place to live.

Cons

Old buildings with no real plan to update (my building had radon). The boasted 16:1 ratio is not true. My classes were always above capacity and usually 24:1 was more the average in my department. The administration is concerned with adding warm bodys (students) but not quality students and does not support the faculty. They do however support the sports programs- I mean isn't that why we go to college?

Pros

People are nice generally, but I find that to be true only the lower down the hierarchy you go.

Cons

Leadership, especially the closer you get to the upper administration, tends to be wildly out of touch, has little to no supervisory skill, and seems to lack basic human compassion.
