Anna
Someone who is not willing to put forth the effort required for each class.
It is also very cold in Boone, so those who don't like cold or snow, should go elsewhere. ASU is not too big or too small. For me it's perfect, but for people who want a large city or college experience it's not ideal.

This school is great for everyone in my opinion. However, if I was to pick a type of person this university would not be for, I would have to say that this school is not for people who do not want to challenge him or herself academically. Also if someone grew up in a big city or in a warm climate this would not be the school for you. It does get very cold and Boone is definitely not a big city with skyscrapers.
Brooke
I don't think that any person shouldn't attend this school, everybody deserves an opportunity.
Rebecca
The only type of person who I would advise not to attend this school is someone who prefers to stay inside rather than enjoy the outdoors. Most of the students who attend Appalachian State spend most of their free time snowboarding, camping, or just simply relaxing somewhere on our beautiful campus. Those people who aren't interested in enjoying what this campus and community have to offer as far as all the numerous outdoor activites would probably enjoy another campus over this one. However, if one wants to learn to like nature, then this school would be a great choice.

The kind of people I believe are the party and no schoolwork crowd, here at ASU the students prefer to have some fun and enjoy their surroundings but overall having an adventure through our education is the top priority here on campus. But besides that if your not into winter or wintersports this place might not be for you. But if you prefer adventure of different types well then the heart of the Appalachian Blue Ridge Mountains are where ASU is waiting for you.
Shane
A person that likes to be in the city, have things close to them, and likes dance clubs should NOT come to ASU. Boone is small rural town. It snows a lot in the winter, so if you don't like the cold then don't come to ASU. We have a lot of mountains too, so there are hills and strong winds on campus.
Heather
I can't think of any type of person who wouldn't find his or her niche at App.
Nicole
Students should be both laid back and welcome to meeting many different kinds of people. Such as, jocks, tree huggers, hippies, academics, and even pot heads. They should also be willing to display a lot of school spirit and deal with the long harsh months of crazy weather that only happens in the mountains of North Carolina.
Rodney
A person who enjoys the outdoors and can handle sometimes harsh winter climate shifts would be right at home here at Appalachian State University. Also a person interested in this school should be willing to try new things and reach outside of their social circle to embrace all that Appalachian has to offer. If a student feels a need to be on a first name basis with professors, then they are in luck as the University employs some of the most engaging teaching staff that I've ever encountered.
Ashlee
Someone who is not willing to work here should not come attend ASU. Extremely narrow-minded peoplewho are not open to new ways of thinking should not attend because ASU is always pushing the limits when it comes to every aspect of education.
