Campus Life

The food is pretty good, especially at Central. But they also have places where you can buy your own ingredients to make your own food. I highly recommend cooking something of your own if you get tired of eating dining hall food.

The school just put in a new dining hall, and it is great.

The cafeteria area where everyone can eat at is very spacious and has multiple different food options. Their meal plans are also extremely helpful and make things easier. If eating in the cafeteria isn't preferred they do have a local grocery store.

Dining is rather expensive so its usually best to buy food and make it yourself. Although the food produce on the campus market is higher in pricing than the stores outside it is reasonable since it is also placed in a much more convenient place. However, either way treating yourself out every now and then at their dining isn't bad. The food there is quite good!

Hungry? Well that's okay because Appalachian has plenty to offer when it comes to food. Between two cafeterias and multiple smaller food locations across campus, its easy to put your hunger to rest no matter what your tastes are. From Chik-Fil-A to Traditions, which serves homestyle meals, there is a huge variety of food options for everyone. Have dietary restrictions? Well that's alright because App Food services has something to offer to everyone!

There are two dining facilities that allow for both home-cooked and chain-restaurant type foods, including Chick-fil-a. They even have sushi and best of all - a market that stays open as late as 12am. There are also kitchens in all the of the dorms.

They need more restaurants

There are two different dining halls on campus which serve the typical college dining hall foods: salad bars, wraps, sushi, yogurt, sandwiches, etc. However, there are so many other places to eat here. The student union has Cascades and McAllisters: two places I often eat at. There are two different coffee shops that sell sweets from the local bakery, The Local Lion, and coffee from another bakery, Stick Boy & Co. You can also walk to these locations off campus within 15 minutes. Along King St. there are several different restaurants that sell amazing food like Macado's and Boone Bagelry. I have no problem satisfying my tastebuds here and I don't even have to drive anywhere!

It is not buffet style. Everything has a price. It's nice because you can pay without a meal plan and don't even have to attend the school. Bad because you can't load up on goodies.

The food tends to be rather delicious, but I personally would prefer more options.

Greek life is less than 10% however it's a great group of students.

The Greek life of studying and living is rather open here on campus. Although many students tend to lean to one or the other. However, both are accessible to anyone wanting to do both!

The Greek life is not as good as other colleges because girls can't live together in a house due to an old rule about brothels, but there are still a lot of sororities and fraternities.

Greek life is very different at Appalachian State. Unlike at most colleges and universities, the various sororities and fraternities do not hold grudges against each other and there is absolutely no hazing allowed.

We have Greek life, but it isn't as huge as it is at some other universities.

Instead of the usual Greek life where all sisterhoods or brotherhoods stay to themselves, our mingle. Some have friends that are in different sororities or frats then they are and they still all just get along fine. They always have tons of parties and tailgates and things among this nature.

At Appalachian State University students are welcome to Fraternity and Sorority Life. There are over 1400 members of the 26 Fraternities and Sororities present on campus. Not only do they serve as a resource for the current Fraternity and Sorority community, but offers a clearinghouse of information for perspective students, parents and alumni.

How is the Greek life at App?

I don't know too much about this. I know that they make up about 10% of the campus, there aren't a whole lot of hazing stories that I've heard, and most of the sororities are housed together in a renovated hotel off campus called Appalachian Panhellenic Hall. They do have parties, but the social life at App isn't dominated by the Greek scene, which was a plus for me.

There are several Greek organizations that live off campus. Howevr they all live in the same building because there is not enough room to build Greek houses.
