For all those lucky enough to attend Appalachian State at some point in their lives will find the following ABCs to be a special edition...
A... Appalachian
Not only is it the best school in the world, it is located in the center of the Appalachian region. The mountains are our backyard!
B... Boone
App State is located in the beautiful college town of Boone, North Carolina! The people and the atmosphere are what make this place so special.
C... Cascades
If you're a student at App, odds are you have taken a lunch break from studying from the lovely Cascades Cafe in the student union. If you're like me, you frequent Freshens, the smoothie place.
D... Division
As in division one. Southern Conference and SunBelt Champs AND three times FCS National Champs.
E... Energy
App is one of the most sustainable campuses in the country. The windmill is visible from almost every angle.
F... Football
App State is known for their stellar football team and fan-following up in Kidd-Brewer Stadium. The Mountaineers have brought home three national championships!
G... Greek Life
The Greek community at App is unlike any other. It's small, but still has a huge presence on campus.
H... Hungry Howies
Arguably the best pizza you've ever tasted after a night out with friends. Not to mention an amazing discount after midnight!
I... Ice
Part of being a student at this cold mountain school is the dooming reality that you will fall and bust your butt on ice multiple times. There is no way to avoid it.
J... Jersey
On game days at The Rock, you'll see tons of fans sporting their mountaineer jerseys!
K... Klondike
The legendary fireplace, Tuesday nights, and cheese fries. Enough said.
M... Mall, Sanford to be exact.
Sanford Mall is where you will find literally every student out and about, socializing on Boone's lovely spring days. If you're lucky, you'll catch a slack line show!
N... Neers
The Appalachian State Mountaineers are undoubtedly the real 'neers on the East.
O... Outdoors
The best part about Boone is that everywhere you look you'll find a breathtaking view. Hiking spots, waterfalls, and overlooks to watch the sunrise and sunset are just a ten minute drive from campus.
P... Parkway
Speaking of outdoors, driving the Blue Ridge Parkway is one of the many places you can find these breathtaking views.
Q... Quidditch
Oh yes, for all you Harry Potter fans, App has a Quidditch team.
R... Rough Ridge
Have you ever even been to Boone if you don't take a Rough Ridge picture and post it on Instagram?
S... Snow
If you've never seen snow before, prepare yourself for the bold winter that comes with App State. Rumor has it the University never cancels class... false.
T... Tailgates
There's not just one spot to tailgate on game days around App. The entire campus is absolutely flooded with students and Alumni getting ready to cheer on the Mountaineers.
U...U of Miami
On September 17th, 2016 at 12 noon, the U of Miami Hurricanes will be in Kidd-Brewer stadium and EVERYONE WILL BE THERE.
V...Vs. Michigan
Another legendary date in the history of ever: September 1st, 2007. The Appalachian State Mountaineers beat the Michigan Wolverines in the Big House.
