Appalachian State University Top Questions

I wish that I had known that you can use your meal plan in the campus grocery stores. I did not realize that until half way through my first semester here.

I wish I would have known to bring more snow shoes.

Don't let yourself or your friends get to drunk; be careful.

I wish I had known just how liberal most of the professors seem to be. I'm a very conservative person and so I struggle at times when I'm in class and the profs teach something that goes completely against my moral convictions.

I think the biggest problem with Appalachian, that isn't readily talked about when researching the school is the lack of housing. Because the university is in a small town there are a lot of zoning laws, which restrict the campus from building more housing. Students are forced to live off campus junior and senior years because of this problem. Knowing this the realtors take full advantage of the students and charge them ridiculous amounts for rent.

It can rain a lot here and winter can be a little bleak. I wish I had known about half of the things offered here and all the part time job opportunities in the area. I wish I had known to dump my boyfriend from high school before coming here, it kept me from doing a lot, and meeting more new people.
