Just wanted to respond to this re my earlier comment that “App State is like a smaller Clemson with bigger mountains” – the App State campus is right in the middle of downtown Boone and walkable to lots of restaurants and shops. It is a small town, though, so if he wants a bigger city like Raleigh or Charleston then it might not be what he’s looking for. Boone is not urban. But if he wants a school where he can take a short walk from his dorm or classroom to downtown get a good burrito or grab a coffee, etc, then it might be worth a look. And the football is great. (Honestly best football atmosphere in the state, including UNC and NC State.) Not sure how it would be for his major, but it’s a good school and an easier admit from OOS than NC State (App State is on par with CoC).
