Diverse in a Different Way
While the majority of students are not diverse racially, there is still a great amount of diversity on campus. There are a lot of international students when compared to the size of the school's student body. Students come from around the county; only a couple of states are not represented.

Not Too Competitive
Athletics are not really a big deal at Warren Wilson. Not many students go to games with any regularity. The teams aren't often competitive. If you're looking to go pro, this probably isn't the school for you. However, students on teams do tend to form close bonds and have a good time, which is what sports are supposed to be about.

Beautiful Weather
People are apt to say, "If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes". The mountains are beautiful and the sunsets can be to die for. Showers are common, but often only last minutes at a time. It can snow a good deal on the winter, but everything is within walking distance and easy to reach.

Computers Aren't Bad - Internet Is
Trying to get by without a laptop can be a pain. The only computer labs are on the far side of campus from most of the student housing. The internet connection can be a bit of a joke, especially late at night. Trying to stream videos is almost impossible, but general browsing is usually easy enough.

Spacious Rooms and Small Residences
The housing for sophomores and above is great at Warren Wilson. The Ecodorm is LEED Platinum certified, and all of the upperclassmen housing has less than 100 students per residence - most have under fifty. The rooms are more spacious than many other schools I've visited, and the accommodations are more than adequate.
