A place of our own Nestled in the Blue Ridge Moun- tains of North Carolina, The Uni- versity of North Carolina at Ashe- ville serves as one of North Carolina ' s finest institutions of higher learning. UNCA ' s earliest parent institution, founded in 1927, was Buncombe County Ju- nior College, a part of the public school system. In 1930, Bum- combe County Junior College be- came Biltmore Junior College. Six years later, its name was changed to Asheville-Biltmore College. On July 1 , 1 969, It became one of the sixteen institutions of the Universi- ty of North Carolina system.

attributed to the natural beauty of the campus itself. Colorful leaves surround the autumn, silent snow blankets the winter, rows of tulips ' cover the spring, and warm sun- shine fills the summer. The build- ings seem at home cradled amidst the trees, and small sidewalks gen- tly lead students from class to class. Large grassy areas invite students to take a break to have a picnic or throw a frisbee. Some simply prefer to sit under a shady tree to read a good book. Every- one looks forward to the sun set- ting over the nearby mountain tops, a truly spectacular sight for all who behold it. Located adjacent to the campus are the University Botanical Gar- dens. Unique in North Carolina, in fact in the entire United States, the gardens provide a study area for students, and a center for horticul- tural information. It is a conserva- tion area, a wildlife refuge, and a quiet place of beauty for the relax- ation and enjoyment of all. Campus 7
