Keep hearing that housing is impossible. What is the reality of a transfer student who doesnt know anyone to find housing for 2025-26 school year?

Is it so bad that another school should be chosen?

Would be looking for a single room lease to be matched with other roommates for a transfer student in mid-range budget.

What apartment complexes are recommended?

Any advice appreciated! Thank you!!

My roommate and I are trying to print out business cards and stickers. Can you print things on sticker paper and cardstock on campus or would we need to go off campus to do that?

town i was from didn't have buses and I've never really used them so i'm a little confused haha. I have the app and everything, just looking for some help distinguishing which ones go where i need and what the times actually are. I kinda need to go to walmart, and i know it's the red line but just wondering if anyone knows it's like exact times. I'm a little slow with this stuff so sorry if it's an odd question, but any help is nice.

Wanting to create some hats for both student and Alumni. Looking for any and all idea of some things you all might like to see. I have access to all types of equipment so float me some ideas :)

We'll be in Boone next week with my daughter, who's visiting campus for the first time as a prospective student, and we decided to grab tickets to the S. Alabama game on Thursday. I know Thursday games are probably a different vibe, but are there any special traditions or pre/during-game rituals we should check out? Will the tailgaters still be out for a weeknight game? Marching band pep rallies, team walks, fun chants, stuff like that.

And I've checked out the many threads on parking, so I have a good feel for the situation there (bring cash, arrive early, prepare to walk). We're planning on finding a spot in town early in the day and just enjoying the day on the town before the game starts. But any suggestions for teen-friendly restaurants, cool shops (esp. bookstores), etc. are also welcome.

I had gone through a depressive episode last year and tanked my gpa to a 2.6 from lack of caring. I got straight As my 4th quarter, but it is only at a 2.76. I have my entire senior year to raise it, but I need to know my chances of getting in, I had spent my entire life thinking this college accepted anybody and just found out how hard it is to get in. I’m panicking

EDIT: thanks for all the advice, it really helps a lot!!

Hey!! Can anyone please direct me to any opportunities where I should apply or reach out to work in the marketing field 😊

Most of my group had to bail with family stuff this weekend so instead of our own tailgate it'll just be me and a friend, if you've got room we'd love to join. Ofc i'll be bringing a cooler for us and whoever lets us hang.

title. please tell me anything and everything. campus, weather, surrounding areas etc

I am struggling to get off of the lease I have there because of a flea infestation that I definitely did NOT cause. I have no pets. I have never brought a pet into my unit. I don't even have any friends who have pets that could've allowed me to spread fleas by visiting their place. I haven't even been around any animals in forever. I have no idea where they came from. Other people in the building that I was living at do, in fact, have pets, it's more likely that they came from someone else. All it takes is one female flea getting outside onto the property and latching onto your leg, getting into your unit, and laying eggs, and then you have fleas. I can say with 100% confidence that I am causally, not responsible for this. I never kept the property filthy or unclean which would allow pests to take hold.

However they are trying to say that legally I am responsible. Even though it's the condition that they allow their building to exist in (allowing pets, which create a risk of infestation) which most likely caused this. The lease they had me sign states that the tenant is responsible for keeping the unit free of pests, however this does not somehow magically absolve the landlord of the responsibility of properly maintaining their building and mitigating the risk that others with pets would spread pests to other units. In the same way that those dump trucks that say "NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BROKEN WINDSHIELDS" on the back are still responsible if their shit breaks someone's windshield. For example, a responsible landlord would ensure that tenants who do bring pets require regular flea treatment. They do not require this in the lease that I signed, which is pretty irresponsible.

The lease also claims broad discretion in obtaining judgments against the tenant for rent that is not paid for the remaining duration of the lease. I already had to go somewhere else, I cannot put off the rest my life and its immediate responsibilities and obligations to stay in this town to deal with a pissant landlord, I cannot be evicted since I already vacated, but I also cannot afford to pay rent to two places, so I may end up with a judgment (but without an eviction) over a situation that is absolutely not my fault, which will ruin my credit for seven years. I have already been paying for months which I am not staying there but I don’t know how much longer I can afford to do this. I had my roommate trying to manage most of this since I’m not there but evidently he doesn’t know what he’s doing because I just got an angry email about that today.

Let this be a lesson to me and to others. Do not go with these degenerate mom-and-pop landlords who will do everything in their earthly powers to shield themselves from as much liability as possible, regardless if it is actually their fault or responsibility or not. It doesn’t help that, with North Carolina being the “best state for business,” all their laws favor landlords and not tenants, meaning this is the worst state for consumers. Go with a faceless corporate rental agency or something who assigns themselves responsibility for everything except covering your rent. I am with one right now where I've moved to. In the lease, all maintenance and pest control is their responsibility. Makes my life easier if something like this ever happens again.

as a freshman with no car, what is the best way to find someone with car on campus to catch rides home with on weekends? i’m trying to figure out a way to get back to raleigh by weekend of the 13th but,,,i don’t know anybody ://

I have 4 tickets for sale section TDR row Y. $50 each.

Haven't gotten as much out of it as I hoped, even though I ran home to my #1 choice. Lots of girls I like but I feel like I really only have surface level friendships with everyone while most people have their groups. Recruitment is tomorrow and I'm dreading it so bad. Debating going through big/little and if I don't get a little or don't click with her, maybe that's my deciding factor? Idk if I'm making a mistake by dropping as I do really like everyone and I'm in the sorority I wanted, but I always feel a little out of place even with the friends I do have. I'm a sophomore btw. Advice or suggestions?

Hi! I’m a first-year student currently trying to socially connect more with people on campus. I’ve been thinking of potentially performing with another person(s) for quite some time, so I was wondering if there were others who would like to perform too!

im wanting to get a tattoo this weekend, any recommendations on places to go? its my first tattoo so I want a good artist but nothing too expensive pls

Hey all,

I'm a 35 year old guy in App State's Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Expressive Arts Therapy program entering the final year of the program, which means beginning practicum and internship. I, along with my colleague, a 35 year old woman, are interning at the Blue Mountain Center for Integrative Health here in Boone and we are available to provide free counseling for the next 11 months. The center takes a holistically-minded approach to the work, and I am informed by Buddhist and somatic practices, ecopsychology, and many different forms of expressive arts. This could be a great option for someone looking for support with life changes, depression/anxiety, trauma, or people who are looking to free up their creative expression or connection to the natural world and needing a low-cost option.

Reach out if you have any questions or want to know more!

genuine question, for my own curiosity, has applcart ever been reliable?? 😭 i’m a freshman without a car so obviously i was hoping to use the bus a bit to get around off-campus, however i’ve come to find the buses are chronically late and slow. so i’m wondering if anyone else has had this experience or if they find applcart to be a bit more reliable?

If anyone is looking for last-minute housing or perhaps something starting in January I have a lease transfer available at East Village. I have three other male roommates that are my best friends (2 are App students). I am sad to leave but have an opportunity in another state.

Please pass this along if any of you know someone in search of housing.

hi! i am a transferring over to app state next year and i’ve been searching for a apartment. i am planning on living alone and so far i’ve just found expensive places, could anyone recommend any good 1 bedroom/bath apartments (not expensive) thank you!

Freshman at App and need to look for apartments for next year now…wanted to know which ones are the best ones and which ones to stay away from. Thanks!

bought a bike recently with a few issues, where’s the best place to go that isn’t a scam?

I was wondering if we'd need to pay to use the 3D printers and if there were any time restrictions on how long we could use them. I want to print the Shell of an Ashida (Portable Wii Project), but the creator said that the print on a normal printer would take ~40 hours.

Where do yall go when the library is closed?

I'm a freshman at appstate and I didn't bring my car because I thought the buses would actually be useful. I'm REALLY confused about the passes. I saw 1 things say it's $700 for a pass but I also saw something that said it's $15 for a license plate that is also a pass. I also live at mountaineer hall if that helps with what I should do.
