If you’re looking for a college that lists music as one of its major programs and now famous for its football…beat No. 5 Univ of Michigan 34-32 (my sympathy to Wolverines). Located in Boone, North Carolina near the famed Blue Ridge Parkway…lots of beautiful country! When you think you’re familiar with most colleges…there’s always another to be discovered. Equally important to remember is that the students at Appalachian State are loving their college experience, even more today. A good day for the lesser-known college that in reality is not a lesser college for its students.
