Today I crossed the state line and went to visit Montreat College near Asheville. I was amazed! To start if off it's beautiful, mountain town just like Julian, it wasn't as run down as Clinton, and the people were nicer than they had been in Clinton. The college itself is not only beautiful, but Tiny! There are only 462 students, the community aspect of this college I must say is my favorite part. My day started with a video about their mission statement which is "Christ-centered, Student-focused, and Service-driven" everything I'm looking for in an institution. :) I then got to attend their chapel which was awesome, it's Maundy Thursday, so there was worship, and John was read and then people were free to get up and wash each others feet. I totally would have done if I hadn't been there by myself! :) The worship was great, then I got to have lunch with a professor from the Bible and Religion department and he just let me pick his brain about Montreat etc and then introduced me to a lot of other staff members who came to have lunch with us. There was no separation from students and teachers, It of course was professional, but students were just coming up to talk about anything! I then had a tour of the campus and got a chance to ask the rest of my questions, and at the end I got to meet with an admissions counselor who went through my transcripts and told me what would transfer, and told me my current plan was perfect! Overall I am in love with Montreat! I was asking our student tour guide all sorts of questions and he continued to describe the depth of the community the student body has with itself, the professors, and the Black Mountain community!
In Christ,
Ali
