Maddy Mudd '12 loves Appalachian State!


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.

 
Thank you to Maddy for giving me the scoop on App State! We are so happy that she is loving college and doing well so far (she already got an A on her first Principles of Sustainable Development test!) Maddy would love to talk to any students who are interested in App State so please let any of the college counselors know if you would like her contact information.
