All classes centrally located

For 2012, we'll be returning to the newest living facility on campus - Blue Ridge Hall. This means that participants will be right next door to the dining hall thus eliminating the need for shuttles. Blue Ridge Hall offers couples friendly double occupancy rooms with private baths and single occupancy rooms which share a bath with only one other person. So no more than two people share a bath. The ample living space throughout the hall will be use for classroom space as well as the newly opened Blue Ridge Conference Center on the ground floor. At present, all classes except the ensemble will be held inside Blue Ridge Hall.

On-campus residence halls provide the “camp” camaraderie of staying with other dulcimer people for the week in a central location. You’re “going back to college.” The accommodations are clean and modern, but this is not a luxury hotel – no room service, no wake-up call, no maid service, and bathrooms are shared as described above. You'll receive linens and a couple of towels for the week but most prefer to bring extras of these items. You will need to bring clothes hangers and may want to bring along an pillow and a small desk lamp. Those who like a soft bed often bring a foam pad. Most of our participants favor these accommodations, finding them quite comfortable. We save a limited number of handicapped-accessible rooms if you register early. If you require different accommodations you can request from us a list of area lodgings or campgrounds. 

On-campus accommodations are sold as a package with all meals included, beginning with the Sunday night banquet and going through breakfast on Friday morning in the all-you-can-eat university dining hall. WCU’s room/meals packages offer cost savings and more convenience than having to use off-site hotels and restaurants.
