App State is one of those schools that you are so thankful to stumble across. Tucked away in the mountains, this campus is lively and does not lack in school spirit. I am so grateful for my time there and have multiple job opportunities following graduation.

I love our school so much. I wish they would stop making it so overcrowded and spending money in unnecessary places ( gold App State police teslas...) but overall I am very happy here and can't imagine going anywhere else

I love App State and always wanted to attend because my dad graduated from here. The Exercise Science program is so challenging but in the best way! I truly feel that Dean Huff has created such an awesome environment that promotes learning. App State is full of pretty views and plenty of things to do and I wouldn't want to call anywhere else home.

I love App State! I think that while the lack of parking sucks, the school itself makes up for the rest. If you're thinking about coming here however, be extra prepared for the cold. The wind is lethal and seasonal depression hits 10x harder from the wind chill alone. Professors are hit or miss- I'd recommend you look them up on here before start.

Such a fun community here! No matter what you’re into you’ve got people here! Awesome Christian ministeries too!

Honestly, a waste of time. Especially if you commute. Each instructor just reads off the powerpoint, no teacher student engagement.

May not be the place for me, but it just feels like everyone is over it all the time. The environment here has really taken it out of me.
