Appalacian State University is best known for their academics, football team, and school spirit. Coming to this school was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I love how friendly everyone is and how the professors really care about you academically and on a personal level. This university is close to downtown King Street and has a lot to do on the weekends that does not involve drinking. If you want to come to a university that is runned safely and accepts you for who you are, come to Appalachian State University.

I would say Appalachian State is best known for being in the mountains and how cold it gets. Some people also say it is known for being the school for people who are vegetarians, vegans or have food allergies.

Best known for their great football program and school spirit. They are also known for being very friendly and are often referred to as "One Big Appalachian Family".

Appalachian is known for its scenery. We're smack dab in the middle of the mountains and to be honest, sometimes it's breathtaking when you're walking to class and you're minds on all the things you have to do for the day and suddenly you see those gorgeous mountains. Nature is timeless, you never get tired of seeing something so beautiful and so majestic. The mountains almost have a personality of their own, and you can almost feel as if they feel the season with you. It's strange, but lovely.

Our school has a large focus on varsity sports, and their education program. The Reich College of Education is well known, and considered a high level program for education. Our varisty football team has won 3 national championships, and a number of division championships as well. Mountaineer football is a huge draw, not just for students and alumni, but for the community as well! Everyone in the area comes together to support the Mountaineers at Kidd Brewer Stadium, AKA The Rock, on Saturdays. Football brings a sense of community and belonging that is definitely something Appalachian is known for.

Football is the only tradition here, that and having sexual assaults.

Our school is best known for the lovely campus. I can talk about its great welcoming on football Saturdays, or its perfect climate to do some scientific research. But the campus is what makes App State so great, because if one takes a short walk through the grounds on a 60-degree sunny day, he will find multitudes of students playing Frisbee, lacrosse, football; others are studying, congregating with friends, or enjoying the nice weather. Plus, non-students, citizens of Boone will walk their dogs and such things. It is refreshing sight when schoolwork is overbearing.

Appalachian State University is best know for its surrounding area and its football team. It is located in Boone, North Carolina high up in the mountains. Many people go there simply because of the beautiful campus and Boones wide range of outdoor activities. However, Appalachian State University is also know for its foot ball team. They won the NCAA championship in 2006, 2007, and 2008. Ever since then the school has had a booming football program.

Being student-centered, great outdoor opportunities, great financial deal, laid back, have a good football team (beating Michigan a few years ago)
Bailey
Appalachian State University is best know for the business school and the Hayes School of Music. The music school has to be applied for seperately than the University. The business school is open to all students as long as they meet the requirements. The location of it is also a big thing. It's located in the mountains and is absolutely beautiful. There is a ton of snow in the winter and all kinds of different outdoor oprotunities
