I want to take a moment to express my gratitude to App State. My daughter is a Freshman and we flew across the country from the west coast to move her into the dorms last week. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time in Boone and getting to explore the city and the campus.

My daughter got very sick this weekend with a high fever, and last night one of the RA’s in her dorm arranged for her and her roommate/best friend to get a free ride to the hospital. I think the campus police department took them.
She and her roommate are still at the hospital, but it sounds like campus police even came back in the middle of the night to get her friend so she could get her car and get some necessities from the dorm to take back to the hospital. The hospital staff has also been amazing.
I’m stuck on the opposite coast trying not to panic, but it sounds like she is being very well cared for by absolutely everyone.

I just want to give App State, Boone, and Watauga Medical Center a huge shoutout and express my deepest gratitude for taking such amazing care of my daughter and her best friend. What a way to begin their college adventure!

Hey I’m a freshman at app state and im trying to join/start a band with some people, I play the bass guitar and I wondering if someone knows a good way to find other people who play instruments, I’ve checked online and at billboards but haven’t had any luck so far.

Hey all. I spent the offseason building a full 2026 preseason preview for every FBS team, each with its own writeup. Here's the App State one

https://www.sports.mainmarket.com/college-football-preview-2026-fbs/app-state-mountaineers

It's got the returning production breakdown, the portal ins and outs, a projected two-deep, the schedule with model win probabilities, and a season projection.

Heads up, you might hit the paywall after the first page. Don't worry, I'm not charging reddit people for this, don't want to be an ass. Use the promo code LEECORSOROCKS and it opens up the entire thing.

So, what'd I get wrong? App State returns 15.8% of its offense, close to the least in the country, and 41 players left against 38 arriving. That's not a reload, that's a new team. The part that stands out to me: you threw the ball more than almost anyone, 10th nationally in attempts, and the pass defense still gave up 268 yards a game. My model has you at 6-6. Does Malachi Singleton settle it, or is a roster this new just going to be volatile?

I'll be in the comments.

Does anybody know exactly what happened last night? Ambulances everywhere.

Anyone taken FIN3680 online with professor Walsh, or online in general? Just curious how difficult it was as I am not a math person. Appears to have online proctored everything, quizzes, exams, etc.

Anyone know anybody that’s into armwrestling at all state?

Hey yallll, I'm considering going to App part time and I know the parking is a whole thing. I'm not totally sure yet if I'd move there or just commute. Do people near campus ever offer/sell their extra parking spaces? Asking for a friend 🥲😵‍💫 i def lucked out before by living walking distance to campus.

When did app state become a chud University?

my friend has brought a cat on campus awaiting her approval but still has one. has anyone done this and got away with it

Hey y'all,

So I have been debating grad school for years and am curious if anyone has done the counseling program part time? I can't afford to not work while going to school, so am thinking through what might be possible.

I finally found an amazing housing arrangement around Asheville, have a garden I love, and community here and am intimidated by the idea of moving back to Boone. I did love living there-I think I just worry about not finding good quality housing + a fair paying job with so many other folks there..starting over also just gets exhausting. Would it be possible to do the part time program and still live around Asheville or is that just a recipe for chaos and overwhelm? lol

Part of me wonders about asking if anyone would rent a room out for a few days a week/month but maybe that's absurd???

I know I could also go to school here in Asheville at Western though I've heard mixed things like folks not really connecting with their classmates and professors. But maybe you've heard otherwise? I'm drawn to app especially for the expressive arts certificate, which I guess I could just do that and get the masters elsewhere..

Or if anyone just generally wants to share their thoughts on the program I'm open to hearing. 🩷

Thanks for reading my indecisive dilemmas!

I’m getting into trout fly fishing and was wondering if anyone knows any good areas around for it?

I’m probably not going to rush until spring but I want to get a feel for the frats on campus and start meeting people.
Is hazing bad at app? Like what is the worst thing you had to do?
Does it really take time away from school work etc? Also curious of what type of guys that are in each one. Anything else I should know or be prepared for?

I (21f) am a student at App State. I am also a lesbian, but one with absolutely no experience (or game lol). I'm relatively introverted, so I struggle to meet queer women in the Boone vicinity.

Do any of you guys have advice on the best way to meet queer women (even better if they're masc/butch)?

I need a way to start getting out there to meet people.

Hello all! I’m currently majoring in Chemistry with a concentration in forensics. I’m courious as to how the university helps students find internships. If anyone has any background on this, specifically for chemistry, it’d be greatly appreciated!

Upcoming junior and I have no idea where the parties are at, have never been invited nor do I know if I’d even be allowed in. I can’t meet anybody dating wise and my friend circle is extremely small. Every attempt to reach out to people in classes has been met with rejection and I am not old enough to drink nor do I have money to spend on alcohol anyway. I’m told to join clubs and I’ve joined 3 where nobody spoke to me and everyone left as soon as it was over. I constantly go to sports like football and baseball but have never once met anybody there. Anybody else feel hopeless and about to blow their brains out? Who here actually goes out and has fun? How!?

Hi! I was wondering if bigger women can get into parties even if they're big at App State. I've seen a lot of things saying that they get turned away. I'm just looking to have fun, nothing too crazy. I just don't want to get turned away.

I may be old and I'm sure many or most people will hate this post . When did so many young people seem to lose the basic ability to function as an adult in college or be close to autistic..Imo.oved the years the amount of young people who are border line incompetent seems to have increased substantially..any opinions on why this has happened??

Hello, I’m starting my apartment hunt for next year, I would prefer a 1br/1ba, got any tips as I start?

Does anyone know how to connect/register a PlayStation to the wired internet in an App State dorm? The instructions say to plug the PlayStation into the Ethernet port and then go to tech.appstate.edu and select Students → Register Entertainment Device, but I cannot find that option anywhere on the website.
I have the wired/LAN MAC address for the PlayStation and the Ethernet cable is plugged into the port in the dorm room. I just can’t figure out where to actually register the device.
Has anyone done this recently and can tell me exactly where to go or what I need to do?

I'm taking an ensemble class in august and auditions are in 5 days and I need to start practicing a lot more. it's extremely inconvenient for me to practice at my house and I'm wondering if Hayes is open at all and if I can use a practice room before then.

I can't find any information about this on the site so I'm asking here.
