I’m considering appalachian state but i’ve heard so many stories about how cold the winters are and I really don’t like cold weather, how cold are the winters and how long does it stay cold? like what would you wear on an average day at app?
I attended App and yes it is that cold. When I was there we had snow on Halloween and then off and on through March. You need a big LL Bean style coat and boots. The busses that run around town and through campus have chains on them during snowy weather. I lived in an apartment at the top of a hill in Boone and watched people crawl up the hill to get home because the cars couldn’t make it up hill because of ice. If you go to App you can say you had to walk up hill both ways to school in the snow and mean it.
On the other hand, the mountains are beautiful and its not so hot in the summer. Its a great school and has added many programs since I was there.
