Countdown to Cullowhee: 10 Days

 The Blue Ridge Parkway weaves its way through our beautiful mountains, connecting the Great Smoky Mountains National Park all the way to Virginia. Entrances close to campus mean adventure is never too far away. The parkway’s 469 miles promise breathtaking views, hiking, camping, waterfalls, and so much more. If you ever feel like you need a moment to reflect, take a break, or just explore, the parkway is your go-to. 

Countdown to Cullowhee is WCU's way of welcoming our Catamounts to campus every year. As we countdown the days left till move-in, we want you to remember everything that awaits you in the 'Whee. We can't wait for you to be home!
