Appalachian State University Reviews
Coming in as a transfer student, I felt incredibly lost. Advisors did their best, but I felt lost in the shuffle. This is where you need to connect with people and find out as much as you can on your own.
It's beautiful there and you're nearly guaranteed opportunities during and after you graduate, which is a really great thing to know. You have to get connected and learn things about the school that you might not otherwise be told.
And don't forget your rain boots and snow boots! You'll need them!
