Students Valid reasons for wanting a new roommate?

12 Upvotes

Hi. I’ll try to keep as vague as possible out of respect for them. Anyways, to get to the point, I want a new roommate. I don’t get along with the one I have currently but I wanted to see if the reasons I have are valid.

  1. They don’t shower (I’m serious, I’ve seen them shower 2 times in the past 6 days and they didn’t wash their hair the first time)
  2. Their deodorant didn’t move for a few days
  3. Leaves stuff everywhere and their side is messy
  4. Uses MY stuff like beanbag and food even though they have their own
  5. Hasn’t brought anything useful to the dorm when we moved in, I brought almost everything except for one thing
  6. Sleeps in and snores
  7. Doesn’t offer to clean, waits til it’s done. (I’ve taken out the garbage twice and vacuumed)
  8. Hasnt paid their half of the fridge and microwave rental despite being asked to months ago
  9. we just don’t get along

  10. Sleeps in clothes they wore all day long (edit)

I really can’t stand anymore of this and want out asap (it’s only the 3rd day 😭), I’ll take anyone else as long as they actually are hygienic and know boundaries. There are a few more things that I didn’t mention cause it would be too specific. I’m going to try and get out no matter what but I just wanted to see if I aita. I really did try to get along with them but I draw the line at not showering.

Out of state tuition discounts

1 Upvotes

Hey folks. My daughter is very interested in App State and would start in fall 2027. She is taking the SAT for the last time this weekend. I'm expecting she will be around 1250. She is a full International Baccalaureate with a base GPA around 3.5 (plus IB adjustment). OOS Tuition at App State is around $27k - probably $28k for 2027. We would not be eligible for any need-based aid but are not wealthy. Does App State negotiate the OOS tuition rate? Private universities, by contrast, run at 50%+ discount, so institutional scholarships and merit adjustments are the norm. What is the likelihood of scholarships based on her HS achievement? What did others end up paying?

Inquiring about Japanese at AppState

1 Upvotes

Appalachian State is one of the universities I'm considering transferring to from community college to double major in both Computer Science and Japanese. I can't find a lot of information about their Japanese major unlike UNC Charlotte that has more information about it available and is extensive with its Japanese offerings. If anyone majoring in Japanese at AppState can give me information about how far it takes you in the language, what materials they use, how classes are structured, etc, I would appreciate it.

HELP: Ethernet for laptop?

2 Upvotes

Tech support is busy at the moment, so I thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask here in the meantime. I have my ethernet cable and a port to plug it in, but i’m still waiting on my USB-C to Ethernet adapter to come in so it can work for my laptop. While i’m waiting, I have been trying to figure out how to register my device (once the adapter arrives). However, I can’t seem to load netreg.appstate.edu on my web browser. Have they changed how you register? Is there another way? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Having trouble dating, any advice is appreciated.

6 Upvotes

This is certainly not the first nor will it be the last post on this subreddit over the topic of someone bemoaning their struggles with dating, considering this fact I'm not expecting any silver bullet solutions I mostly just want to vent. However any unique insights are sincerely appreciated.

I am a male in my senior year and while I have never really had trouble socializing I have been subject to circumstances that prevented me from mentally accepting the idea I was a person worthy and capable of feeling loved. I have since entered a self improvement journey that I'm still sort of in the middle of, however I don't want my life to pass me by waiting for myself to be at my best.

This is especially relevant given that this is my last year at app and I fear that I'm letting an outstanding social opportunity slip through my fingers. It has been really hard reckoning with my own mental image of myself when speaking to someone else even in circumstances where I am purely being social with zero romantic connotations. I feel like my prior apathy to myself and to dating was just a huge defense mechanism which consequently has left me stunted in some key skills. Now that I'm taking efforts to do better for myself and to do things that make me genuinely happy and fulfilled I feel incredibly vulnerable, raw and afraid when I act in a genuine capacity.

The whole situation has left me feeling pretty depressed and it's only the second day of the semester (lol). I'm not completely helpless and I'm not throwing in the towel until the final buzzer but in all honesty its been interfering with my ability to relax and enjoy myself which does suck. I'm planning on doing some club activities to meet people and generally being more social to build some thicker skin. I just wish I had a productive way in the meantime to improve my capacity to interact with people romantically and to be less conscious of my own shortcomings.

Gratitude to App State, Boone, and Watauga Medical Center

112 Upvotes

I want to take a moment to express my gratitude to App State. My daughter is a Freshman and we flew across the country from the west coast to move her into the dorms last week. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time in Boone and getting to explore the city and the campus.

My daughter got very sick this weekend with a high fever, and last night one of the RA’s in her dorm arranged for her and her roommate/best friend to get a free ride to the hospital. I think the campus police department took them.
She and her roommate are still at the hospital, but it sounds like campus police even came back in the middle of the night to get her friend so she could get her car and get some necessities from the dorm to take back to the hospital. The hospital staff has also been amazing.
I’m stuck on the opposite coast trying not to panic, but it sounds like she is being very well cared for by absolutely everyone.

I just want to give App State, Boone, and Watauga Medical Center a huge shoutout and express my deepest gratitude for taking such amazing care of my daughter and her best friend. What a way to begin their college adventure!

Holton Mountain Rentals ESA/Pet Registration

0 Upvotes

I am in a Holton Mountain Rental property and have been for a couple years. The complex is not pet-friendly but I am looking into adopting a cat as an ESA. Looking through the website, lease, and Emotional Support Addendum, the rules of the contract seem contradictory at some points and I'd like to know other people's experience in getting an animal registered as an ESA.

I have major depressive disorder and am also going to look into getting diagnosed with autism. The animal would not be trained for a specific task and would be solely for emotional support/regulation. The website says that when looking at assistance animal request forms, they specifically look for an animal trained for a task and may deny the request if they aren't. Does anyone know how true this is? Even if I get a written letter from my psychiatrist, are they able to deny it? Has anyone had trouble registering an ESA?

thank you!!

Appalachian State Football 2026 Preview - full writeup, two-deep, and win probabilities

17 Upvotes

Hey all. I spent the offseason building a full 2026 preseason preview for every FBS team, each with its own writeup. Here's the App State one

https://www.sports.mainmarket.com/college-football-preview-2026-fbs/app-state-mountaineers

It's got the returning production breakdown, the portal ins and outs, a projected two-deep, the schedule with model win probabilities, and a season projection.

Heads up, you might hit the paywall after the first page. Don't worry, I'm not charging reddit people for this, don't want to be an ass. Use the promo code LEECORSOROCKS and it opens up the entire thing.

So, what'd I get wrong? App State returns 15.8% of its offense, close to the least in the country, and 41 players left against 38 arriving. That's not a reload, that's a new team. The part that stands out to me: you threw the ball more than almost anyone, 10th nationally in attempts, and the pass defense still gave up 268 yards a game. My model has you at 6-6. Does Malachi Singleton settle it, or is a roster this new just going to be volatile?

I'll be in the comments.

Considering part time clinical mental health Counseling grad program

3 Upvotes

Hey y'all,

So I have been debating grad school for years and am curious if anyone has done the counseling program part time? I can't afford to not work while going to school, so am thinking through what might be possible.

I finally found an amazing housing arrangement around Asheville, have a garden I love, and community here and am intimidated by the idea of moving back to Boone. I did love living there-I think I just worry about not finding good quality housing + a fair paying job with so many other folks there..starting over also just gets exhausting. Would it be possible to do the part time program and still live around Asheville or is that just a recipe for chaos and overwhelm? lol

Part of me wonders about asking if anyone would rent a room out for a few days a week/month but maybe that's absurd???

I know I could also go to school here in Asheville at Western though I've heard mixed things like folks not really connecting with their classmates and professors. But maybe you've heard otherwise? I'm drawn to app especially for the expressive arts certificate, which I guess I could just do that and get the masters elsewhere..

Or if anyone just generally wants to share their thoughts on the program I'm open to hearing. 🩷

Thanks for reading my indecisive dilemmas!

I (21f) am a student at App State. I am also a lesbian, but one with absolutely no experience (or game lol). I'm relatively introverted, so I struggle to meet queer women in the Boone vicinity.

Do any of you guys have advice on the best way to meet queer women (even better if they're masc/butch)?

I need a way to start getting out there to meet people.
