Appalachian State University Top Questions

The most fustrating thing about Appalachian State University is the food services program we have. I feel like my university can serve better food for those who are vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free. I have many friends who eat off campus because their allergies will not ab=llow them to be able to eat the food offered at this university. Although we have a McAlisters and a Chick-fil-A, I believe we should be able to add in more restaurants that will benefit those who have certain eating restrictions.

The most frustrating thing about my school is that there is not much to get out and do unless you are an outdoorsy type of person and enjoy campling, hiking, or skiing.

The lack of stuff to do in your spare time because it is a small town.

The most frustrating aspect of Appalachian is the constant underage drinking and complete disregard for respecting others. Many a time I have entered the dorm's public restrooms to the smell of alcohol and vomit, and sometimes that alcohol-vomit mixture was covering the inside of the bathroom stalls. The incessant talk of illegal drug use is exasperating and a moral burden as is the open discussion of having sex. Many a times I have personally overheard conversations of people taking illicit drugs and sometimes bragging about almost getting arrested as if breaking the law is socially approved.

There are a lot of great things about my school, but I would have to say the most frustrating thing about it is the constant construction going on around campus. It's great that the college is improving itself from year to year, but some of the construction sites are an eye-sore when placed within the beautiful mountain scenery surrounding campus.

We live in a nearly constant tundra and our classes are never, ever canceled. This might seem a small plight, but when parking lots are coated with three inches of God's frozen tears, we could all deserve a little break. If you're free-spirited, you could set up a tent in the back corner of the library and avoid the morning cattle-car trudge. Otherwise, pull up tight your long johns and brave the frigid expanse to health class.

The most frustrating thing about my school is not knowing if classes will be canceled because of winter weather until the last minute. The only way a student can find out if classes are canceled is from the internet via the school website or email. If morning classes are not canceled and afternoon classes are a student may not know that their afternoon classes are canceled until they have already arrived.
