Appalachian State University Campus Life

Love the food!

There are two large dining halls and a few smaller places scattered around campus. Dining services are pretty decent. The only corporate food places are McAlister's (one full service and one to-go only) and a limited service Chick-Fil-A. Food can be really cheap, depending on what you buy, and most students have a lot of leftover food money at the end of the year! There are also a ton of amazing local restaurants to go to in Boone.

Appalachian's meal plans work like a debit card. You pick what food you want and you are charged for that food as opposed to the "meal swipes" other colleges use where you swipe your card and it is an all you can eat buffet. The food isn't bad, but sometimes students feel as though there aren't very many options. Lastly, the only off campus food that you can buy on your meal plan is Chick-fil-A and McAlister's, which is lacking compared to other universities.

The local food is great and somewhat cheap.

Nothing is better than home cooked food, but Appalachian makes up for it in dining options. There is Chik-fi-la, pizza, McAllister's, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, pasta, and various other venues. There are also plenty of restaurants within walking distance, so food choices are not limited.

The general dining hall is well appointed. The local bagel shop just down the road, has reasonable prices.

the food at app state is nothing special. simply put, it's comparable to a food court at a shopping mall.

I am vegan and my meal choices become somewhat mundane, but doable. I buy food at the market on campus, too. Would like to see more plant-based meals.

The food hall was very nice.

The food at Appalachian State is reasonably decent. There are a few significant places to eat on campus: The Plemmons Student Union, Trivette Dining Hall, and Roess Dining Hall; all of these offer different cuisine to dig into, but in terms of quality, it is all about the same. The dining halls have quality cafeteria style offerings; there is also a Chic-fil-a in Roess Dining hall if you ever feel the need to get your chicken fix. Overall the food at ASU is fairly good, and you will rarely be disappointed.

I am not a part of Greek life but I hear good things.

I am personally not in a sorority, but Greek Life is very accepted on App's campus.

No one cares if you're in a frat or a sorority, but if that's your thing then you will find your place here.

App has a very active greek life! App does not have a greek row which cuts down on the costs for both sororities and fraternities. There are over ten sororities and twelve fraternities that have both fall and spring recruitment. There are lots of fundraising and philanthropical events held by each Greek group along with semi-formals and other fun events. Due to the smaller campus and school, the greek groups are much less clique-like than bigger schools and it is not as competitive.

The Greek life is big, and one can see sorority girls and fraternity guys walking around performing different duties all over campus. During Rush Week, the center of campus named Sanford Mall was covered with different Greek life tents.

It exists, but people don't care if you're involved or not.

What's greek life?

The greek life is kind of a joke. To kids around here, it's just like buying friends. Although, it is nice to have these connections when you graduate college. Most of what I hear about them are the parties. There's nothing much to the greek life around here.

It is there. If you apart of it that is cool. If your not that is cool too.

YES, and plenty of it.
