Appalachian State University Top Questions

We have a school club for practically everything, from hobbies to cultural groups to major related clubs. Some are a bit redundant, but if you're shy like I was first arriving with no high school friends (most of my friends stayed within an hour radius of home) joining a club is a good way to get out there. Most ASU students are from around the area (Western NC) but they do get students from all over NC and several from out of state. I do feel like the ethnic diversity here is a bit low, but when you come from a high school where you have an equal mix of blacks and whites and 20{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of other various groups, it's kinda hard to look diverse compared to that. I have noticed in the past year that ethnic diversity is starting to grow more here.

So far, my classmates are extremely friendly and always up to get together for studying or just hanging out!

There's a ton of different groups you could fir into at App state and I really feel like anyone could fit in. There's a place for everyone. I think the university is great at making everyone here feel like we're one big happy app family. There's always something going on and its usually free so everyone can participate. Like today, there was free tye-die for anyone who wanted to participate out on Sanford lawn. Most students here are from the southeast - NC, SC, FL, VA,TN. But there really are people from everywhere (my roommate is from Oklahoma). I would say that most student are middle class with a minority of exceptions. And the political atmosphere is a bit to the left but not totally. Although there are obvious cliques and groups, everyone is inviting and open. Like i said before it's a very close knit community; everyone waves to eachother and says hey.

People here are extremely laid-back and chill - they wear comfortable clothes and don't judge

Most students here tend to be very open to new ideas and are often very friendly.

A variety of classes brings a variety of classmates. From what I've seen so far, the student population here at Appalachian State University is friendly, open-minded, and cooperative. I have met students from all over the world, including 20 or more states from the U.S., as well as students from Congo, Guatemala, Germany, and China. I have also met students with a wide variety of majors, including some interesting "cross-displinary" majors where subjects are combined into a unique major.

My classmates at Appalachian State University have alot of character and take alot of pride in their school.

My classmates are a diverse melting pot representing every walk of life imaginable.

They are less interested in learning than in getting a degree so they can stay away from home and enjoy themselves in whatever way they please.

Most of my classmates go to school to have fun and have little interest in their education or in succeeding.
