Hi! Thanks for reaching out! Just a little intro for myself, I am a junior nursing student! I’m involved in a few clubs and organizations on campus including […]. But more on the weather…

Boone weather is certainly different than Miami, but here’s some things that I think are really helpful to prepare for all of the different types of weather in Boone:

– good winter coat (I have a long puffer coat that comes to mid-thigh that is so helpful)
– good mittens/gloves
– beanie(s)/ear warmers
– Waterproof shoes (HUGE!!)
– Hiking/winter boots (any shoes that have good traction will do)
– Good raincoat
– Backpack rain cover (not essential, but it helpful to have)
– Umbrella
– Fleece lined leggings
– Wool socks

One thing that I wish I knew before coming to App/Boone was how bad the wind was. Being at the top of the mountain we get really strong wind, which can make 40º weather feel like it’s 20º.

I have had a great experience on campus since being a freshman. I have joined many clubs and organizations that have made my college experience memorable.

I highly recommend trying out clubs and organizations that sound interesting to you; it’s a great way to meet people and make friends!

There is always so much going on on campus, and I encourage you to check out our event database, Engage: engage.appstate.edu

I am happy to answer any more questions you have!

Don’t hesitate to reach out or pass this along to friends!
