What do you consider the worst thing about Appalachian State University? Why?

Brooke

The worst thing about Appalachian State University is the lack of extra-curricular activities. Unless you like outdoor activities, there isn't much to do in Boone, NC.

I feel proud of my school in ways but there is a big problem here in the way of diversity. Appalachain is making efforts to diversify its population but until today it's NOT made a resounding bound. I'm a diversity scholarship receipient and still feel that way. It's great that the university is trying hard to please students and parents in every way but I am the ONLY Latina student in every one of my classes. If you are NOT in the Foreign Language Dept then chances are you will NOT see diversity all day long.

its a lot of walkin up and down the hills.but every thing else is a good school to learn at.

I love Appalachian State University, but I hate the administrative system and financial aid office. They're very focused on incoming freshmen and so busy with all the freshmen coming in that they're not very helpful to present students. I'm eligible to receive fincancial aid, but feel like it's impossible to get it unless I receive a scholarship in my major.

There is nothing really bad about this school. I think I speak for at least 95{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the student body by saying that everyone loves going to school here.

Football game days. I work at a campus service, so it is really hectic around this time. I am glad that we've won so much, but it shouldn't be what the school is all about.

Alyssa

Not a lot of diversity among students.

Kevin

The worst thing about this school is the weather at times. During the winter months the wind can reach up to 50 mph. Its not so bad in the summer but during the winter ,the wind makes the temperature blistering cold. Its tough walking to class at times. Sometimes its easier to stay in your house and stay in bed.

Brian

There is a severe lack of housing, parking, and scholarships.

Joanna

The worst thing about my school is that it gets really cool. It stays cold. Its nice in the summer, but it's cold any other time. 20* colder on top of the mountian than on the bottom in like raleigh or durham.
