No university is perfect, Appalachian included. In my opinion, the worst thing about this school is the number of deaths we have experienced this past school year. While some of them were suicides, medical emergencies, or car accidents, there was an unusually high number of lives lost amongst our student body this year. This has made for a particularly difficult past semester. With that said, one of the best things about this school is the way everyone came together as a family in support of those affected by these numerous tragedies.

Sometimes the winters can be bad in Boone and you can get snowed in your aparmtent/dorm.

The worst thing would be that some of the landscaping around the campus could be improved.

The worst thing about Appalachian is the dorms. Some of the dorm buildings are older and not kept us as well. While I lived in a nicer dorm, I still believe that the dorms could have been handled better.

Cold and Snow. If you do not like these elements, then Appalachian is not for you. Otherwise, you have the opportunity to receive a great education in a beautiful setting. There are plenty of opportunities to socialize at athletic games, the student union is fabulous and the town is quaint. There are ski slopes, rock climbing and hiking close to campus. Those who enjoy the outdoors and don't mind bundling up will enjoy this college experience.

The worse thing about my school is the awkward location. Each side of campus is located on a hill so the walks during bad weather are quite long. The campus is not easily accessible for handicapped students; however, the university does everything possible to accomodate.

The worse thing would be the rain and the hills. Rain appears out of nowhere sometimes. The campus and situated in the mountains, so there are a lot of ups and downs while walking to class, but I knew about both of these things. I asked for it.

The worst thing abou Appalachian is that everyone is to nice, the grass is too green in the fall and summer and the snow is too powdery in the winter. Taking Snowboarding as a PE is too much fun once a week and meeting many students who are open to new friends just seems too easy. However, the cold is brutal, but with the right apparel, thats a piece of cake.

The worst thing about my school, boy that's a hard one. Nothing I can say except I've heard that last year the snow was unbearable and brought things to a stand still for the first time in many years. I like the snow but not on that level. I hope this year will not be as bad.

The fact that there are no malls, and its located in a small town
