NC Center for Health and Wellness, Part IV

I think it's a good thing that I moved off campus this semester and cancelled my meal plan. Otherwise, I'd probably end up spending way too much of my Munch Money at the Wellness Cafe at the NC Center for Health and Wellness!   I was pleasantly surprised when I visited the cafe for the first time.  It's an interesting feature...

Grove Park Inn

On Sunday, my friends and I took a little trip to the Grove Park Inn, which is literally right down the road from the UNC Asheville campus (probably less than a 10-minute drive).  You might remember a post from last November about the gingerbread houses on display here around Thanksgiving.

Study Abroad: Blog or Journal?

One of my favorite things to do is read travel blogs.  When a friend studies abroad, one of the first things I ask them is whether they plan to keep a travel blog or not.  For those of us at home, especially for family, blogs are a great way to check in with our loved ones and follow their journeys.   Many people begin with...

Okay, so here's something I've been wanting to share with you all for a while.  I think it might be part of the reason so many people are interested in our new health and wellness center:  our new gymnasium.  With the construction of the enormous Kimmel Arena, UNC Asheville students and the Asheville community have the perfect...
