Maddy Mudd
stopped by the College Counseling Office recently to tell us how happy she is
at Appalachian State University! She loves being in Boone, North Carolina and
she said that she would love to see more Visi girls look at Appalachian State! She was
kind enough to answer a few questions about her time at school so far.
1.
What is your favorite part about college?
There are
always new people to meet! App State has about 15,000 undergraduates so there
are still lots of people that you don’t know but you are always running into
your friends as well. Maddy said that she feels like she is always busy!
2.
What are you involved in?
Zeta Tau
Alpha- Maddy admits that she is someone who never wanted to be in a sorority
but she had the opportunity to join a new sorority that was starting on campus.
She loved the idea of being a part of a new group and helping to create
traditions with 117 other girls.
President of
her Residence Hall- Maddy represents her entire residence hall in their Student
Government Assocation
She is also Prose Editor
for the Literary Magazine!
3.
What do you miss about Visitation?
Maddy misses
the traditions at Visitation, which is another reason why she is excited to
create new traditions through her sorority.
4.
What do students wear to class?
Maddy said
that because the school is a little bigger, there is every different type of
person. Some people wear sweats, some people dress up but it is great because
everyone can find their niche.
5.
What classes are you taking this semester?
Maddy’s
Freshman Seminar is called Arts, Community and Change and she is taking that
one because she is in the Arts House residential living community. She is also
taking Principles of Sustainable Development and now intends to major in Sustainable
Development! She is also taking Biology and Society, Sociology and World
Religions.
6.
What is your favorite class?
Maddy loves
her Principles of Sustainable Development class, even though it is also her
hardest.
7.
What do people do on the weekends?
Maddy said
that most people stay on campus during the weekends. Football is huge at App
State and the team is moving from Division 1A to Division 1 next year. She said
that there is a lot of tailgating and tons of school spirit! Maddy said that
people also go camping, go on hikes, and see dollar movies on campus. She also
told me that hammocking and slacklining are huge there!
8.
What advice would you give to seniors?
Maddy said
that she would recommend not getting senioritis too soon! She felt that her
upward trend in grades and strong grades in her senior year really impressed
the colleges where she was applying.
