Overall, this is an OKAY school. My teachers have all been great, I have learned quite a bit, and the tuition is affordable for the most part. However, there are two negative aspects of the experience that make ASU hard to recommend.

First of all, the location. Sure, the scenery is pretty to look at, but at what cost? An overcrowded town to the point that drive thru lines spill out into the streets. I am dead serious. Go to the Cookout during the day and you will see what I mean. But this is only one example. Unless it's really early in the morning or late at night, traffic just lines up and freezes for a least a mile all the way down the main street (321).

Problem number two, the people. The admissions associates are super sweet and friendly (because they want you to spend tuition money here), and that's about it. I can count on ONE hand how many friends I have made here. This place is full of rude, stuck-up hippies who are interested in little more than smoking pot and getting drunk enough to black out. Every time you turn around, there is someone wearing a shirt bearing the Greek letters of the organizations who force innocent people to do exactly this in order to get in. I have even seen people walking the streets with pillow-sized bags of marijuana in broad daylight. And another thing, there are so many people who are OBSESSED with going green. It's great to want to protect the planet, but to the point where you really look like an environmental goody two shoes? I think not.

In short, it's pretty easy to get a degree from this school, but it comes at two prices that are not fun to deal with at all. Whenever I graduate, I will not be very proud of myself, that's for sure.

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

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.

Good business department, horrible administration! Don't speak out about your conservative values here in gen ed classes, or your teacher will call you out in class and try to make an example of your fake white male privilege!

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!

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.
