Amazing university experience. Smaller class sizes, amazingly talented professors, great staff, wonderful facilities and a quality education. One of the most lovely campuses in the nation as well.

Beautiful campus. But this is the only one school I couldn't find any restrooms, buildings were all locked (library, bookstore, cafeteria, ...).

Amazing university in a beautiful setting.

Business programs are top notch. Good community and nice people. Outside of some obnoxious social justice warriors the student body is great. Loved my four years here. If you don't like cold weather then pack your bags. P.S. Never listen to your advisors, do your own work and figure out your own schedule before you register. They're pretty incompetent sometimes. P.P.S. Chancellor Everts needs to be "dishonorably discharged," she's a terrible chancellor. Long live Chancellor Peacock!

Was a very good experience. Best was the faculty, who are from all over the country and internationally as well. I attended another college for a second degree after ASU and had a bad experience which really highlighted how superior ASU's instruction and advice really was. They do not waste your time. If there was a downside, it was probably the fact that many of the students are from western North Carolina, so some of the perspectives were a bit of a culture shock for me. They have several excellent programs, particularly business, music, education, art, as well as some unusual programs like communications disorders.

Attending this school has been the worst experience that I have EVER had! From advisor who do not know what they are doing to transcript office personal that have very bad attitudes and are extremely rude. They also "conveniently" forget to post important dates that student need to know. After finally graduating from this school a year late, I will NEVER encourage anyone to attend this school. But, I would encourage everyone who currently attends this school to get out while they are ahead! And to the alumni association you can stop calling because I will NEVER donate money to this sorry excuse of a school!

I feel disappointed in the experience that my child had in the Duke TIP program at Appalachian State University in North Carolina. My child had a medical issue, which was described on her medical documents, at a social function and we received a call, and EMS was notified. However, instead of treating the medical issue initially, she was told she was having a panic attack and someone immediately stated someone from "psyche" needed to be called. This was upsetting to my child who was on the verge of losing consciousness. In addition, other students were frightened because EMS and police were on the scene and the music was turned up louder, and they were put in another area with no explaination. They were afraid, and other students had panic attacks because of the way it was handled. Treatment was received and the program was continued with a care plan. Within days I was notified that my child was ill again, this time with a respiratory infection, yet the symptoms were nausea and vomiting, dizziness and fluid behind the ears. She was given medication. I called to check in and couldn't get in contact with my child so I called the office. I was told there was no report of absence from class so I felt assured. However, I received a call from my child from the dorm room. Class was not attended, no one knew the whereabouts of my child, and no checks were done. I called the office to let them know where my child was, the illness, and asked if someone could please check in. I was told this would happen every 30 minutes and there was an apology for the confusion. I came to visit and upon returning to the school, there was a trip planned for laser tag. I asked if my child would be allowed to go, given the medical issues. I was told "yes". My child was allowed on the bus and on this trip. Once there, that changed. My child wasn't allowed to participate and the medical incident was given as the cause, despite what I was told in person upon asking. Another trip was made up the mountain. I asked the nurse if laser tag wasn't allowed, was it safe for her to do this and was it a hike. I was told the temperature would be milder and this was not a hike and shouldn't be strenuous. Another medical episode occurred after this and it was managed without medical personnel. A second trip to the clinic was made and I received a call from the doctor saying my child was there for continued upper respiratory infection and nausea. I had to explain her incident of the day before, as she was not at all notified of any of it. She stated she was glad she called me for more information because it was helpful. Then, I received a call from my child stating a one on one meeting occurred in the office for a discussion, suggesting an eating disorder because of the nausea and lack of appetite that was experienced during the time there. It was expressed to me that it felt like an interrogation and made my child very uncomfortable. All of these things lead me to feel this program is disorganized. I do not feel safe letting my child return in the future.

Annoying town to live in. Southern hospitality doesnt exist in Boone. Its full of stuck up hippies. Counting down the days till I transfer to Colorado. If you're transferring here, good luck. My girlfriend has been petitioning classes that they haven't counted since she first got here. They're screwing her out of 27 credit hours that she finished at her old school. Math department is atrocious. I'm in college algebra now and the teacher lost my first test because she took priority in grading a 2 page paper on success before she graded the test. Also, if you're coming here to watch football, the atmosphere sucks. More than half of the crowd is out of the stadium before halftime. Hardly anyone actually cares about the team, they just use it as an excuse to tailgate and get trashed in a public parking lot.

Was my first choice. Beautiful campus with friendly people. Food was good, atmosphere was beautiful. However. And please read. If you are disabled, whether physically or mentally, choose a different school. They have barely any ADA accessible rooms (and sometimes stick people who aren't even disabled in those rooms because housing overflow), like maybe three ramps, hardly any bathrooms or elevators, no railing on stairs, no signs telling you where accessible pathways are on campus so you have to walk forever to find them. Housing will not work with you. I had to withdraw from App because they lacked a freshman room with ADA accommodations that fit my needs. Imagine someone telling you they just don't have a place for you. Imagine them telling you or your child their only option is living off campus with middle aged adults (and they don't have a car) or pretending they aren't disabled. That was my situation. And App continues to accept more and more new students. Thanks a lot, I guess.

One of the best schools in the nation. Atmosphere is perfect. Boone is a great place to live. Weather is cold in the winter but perfect other parts of the year. Can't beat the scenery. Crime statistics are great!

Frank Orifici

The assistance I received transferring midway through junior year has informed the way I now approach my job as academic advisor. For every bump in the transition there was someone ready to help smooth it out for me. I'll always appreciate that.

My alma mater. When I visited the campus I fell in love with the place. The people being so nice is just an added bonus. In my four years here I didn't once lock my door, this is how safe I felt in this place.

This is a wonderful institution of higher learning that is chock full of impassioned educators dedicated to enhancing frontiers of research while sharing meaningful knowledge. Unique culture in the midst of Boone's warm and inclusive community makes App State feel like home.

Going to Appalachian State University was the worst decision I have ever made. I feel that I have wasted so much money and time there. I cannot speak for other majors, but I studied Recreation Management. This major needs work. Of the things I did learn, I cannot think of any real world application for most of them. I was required to take class after class of topics that had nothing to do with why I wanted to go to ASU. I know that college is sometimes about taking classes that will rarely or never be used in the future, but the classes I have found useless were most of the ones in my core curriculum. I feel like college should be about learning things you want to learn and having these classes add value to your future career. I may have taken one or two courses that I actually had a desire to take and have felt value from since. For a career focused in recreation or the outdoors, I would have been better off going to a number of other outdoor leadership institutions such as NOLS or the AMGA and I would have gained valuable knowledge and experience, two things I gained very little of at ASU. Perhaps I could have gone to a different college entirely. I have more debt than I will ever be able to pay off, only for the "accomplishment" of having a degree in Recreation Management. I would much rather have experience and knowledge than a piece of paper and tens of thousands of dollars in debt. My college loans have left my credit in such poor status that I cannot get a loan or purchase anything on credit. Upon applying for jobs, I am told I do not have enough experience. I am well aware that experience is often acquired outside of the classroom, but for all of the time and money I invested in college, I should have gained ample experience from the classes themselves. The jobs I have found that I am qualified for are all jobs that do not require a degree. In this field of work experience is always more important than a degree. For anyone interested in this major I would suggest instead going out and gaining as many outdoor certifications as you can and become part of an outdoor organization like the ones I mentioned above. You will go so much further in a career in recreation and you will save money as well. Of all of the graduates I know personally from Appalachian, many are now working outside of their field of study doing something they do not love, making very little money. On a positive note, I did like the teachers in the Recreation program for the most part. They were pleasant and had passion for their teaching. I just gained very little applicable knowledge from the content they were teaching. As far as the student culture goes, there are also lots of drunks and potheads; more so than other universities I have seen. I was once in a class where the discussion fell upon how to cheat their way through a drug test. I soon realized I was the only one in this class of thirty that didn't have to worry about finding a way to cheat in order to pass a drug test. Overall, going to Appalachian was an enormous mistake on my part; a decision I regret daily.
