Throughout high school, I always struggled in History classes, therefore coming to college, I feared that I would never get through them. However, I was shocked at how small the classes are kept and the attention that the Professors give each and every student. I ended up getting an A in my first History class here and I could not have achieved this goal had the professor not sent me such encouraging emails and spent a lot of time tutoring me one-on-one. This is why I would say that Appalachian's best assett is their small class sizes.
