Don't be disappointed about ETSU. Its a pretty good school and big enough to give you lots of things to do. Johnson City is a reasonably fun town and is convenient to Asheville and NC climbing/skiing/etc. Its also a reasonable drive to Knoxville (near climbing at Obed) and Chattanooga, which has plenty of climbing.

thanks... yeah thats what Im thinking.. Right now I only live 30 minutes from the Obed, and am up there climbing/camping every weekend... I love it upt here...

I'll be in Knoxville one weekend a month from here till I finish my degree so I'll be game for some routes for now.

I went to ESTU my freshman year, was not a climber then, but JC has a great party and music scene, plus its very close to the Boone/NC area. Congrats on the move, it should be fun.

From Johnson city, I think you could be bouldering at g'mom, lost cove, or beacon hights within an hour. Plus Ship rock and linville just a bit further. And, I would bet there are little, local type areas even closer.
