Appalachian State University is a college where just about everyone will fit in. There is not a lot of racial diverity, but the population is very diverse in many other ways. Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountain, our college has one of the best views and has a very unique mountain communty. Appalachian offers a wide variety of majors from business administration to art history, to physical education. Appalachian is definitely a wholesome univeristy for the students that call it home.

If you do not like the outdoors or if you are closed minded, this kind of school is not for you. Appalachian is built for people who enjoy nature and the campus is very warm, open, and friendly.
Jaimie
Someone who doesn't appreciate nature. Appalachian is a beautiful campus and should be admired for its natural beauty. If someone cannot appreciate the majesty of the mountains, they should not attend Appalachian State University.
Jamison
The kind of person that should not attend this school is someone that is no open to new ideas and isn't an outdoors person. They should also like colder weather and hilly/mountainous terrain.

I think a person who is more of a loner would have a difficult time at ASU. People are very friendly and outgoing here and it might be difficult for students who prefer to spend more alone time than group time. There are always student activities on campus and groups of people everywhere so it could be a challenge to find that down time they might seek.

People who do not care about learning, don't like the snow, and those who don't like being away from home. There are not a lot of parties and greek life is not that big so if that's what someone is looking for them App may not be the place for them.
Kathryn
Close-minded people would probably have a difficult time at this school. People who are not open to opinions different from their own or life-styles different from what they are accustomed to should have a difficult time on any college campus. There is such a vast array of personalities that attend this college that I believe people who don't wish to experience anything different would have a harder time adjusting.

It is very difficult for me to not recommend Appalachian State to anyone because it is an outstanding university. However, the complaint I hear the most from my peers is about the school's location. The town of Boone, where the university is located, is a small town with friendly residents. However, it gets exceptionally cold, especially during the winter. Unlike most of North Carolina, snow falls often and many winter days are below freezing. Therefore, I feel that someone who hates cold weather should not attend Appalachian State.

Appalachian is a great place for students who love the outdoors. If one is afraid of the cold or does not like to explore the outdoors, then I would not come to ASU. The sky mountain just a few miles down the road, blue ridge parkway, and many trails for explortion keep the active soul busy. The various recreation centers provide a way to keep healthy when the weather does not permit. Appalachian State University is for the free and active soul.

Appalachian State is a medium to small size school, so if attending a huge university such as Ohio State is your dream. Appalachian State should not be high on your list. This school is personal and most classes are smaller, so if you want to just be a number and not a name, this also isn't a school for you. Most of the classes are not huge lectures that you can show up to when you want, there is a more intimate feeling. This school also expects well rounded students, so you cannot be single tracked.
