over lunch Tuesday in Cascades Cafe in Plemmons Student
Union. They said they are excited about attending Appalachian.

With
high school a recent memory and college around the corner,
many incoming Appalachian State University freshmen find Phase
One Orientation a time for ironing out the wrinkles and answering
questions.
From parking to classes, roommates to meal cards, the questions
are endless from fledgling Mountaineers.
Getting around campus presents the biggest problem for many
new students.
Holly Compton, an incoming freshman from Swansboro, said maneuvering
campus was a problem for her.
She said she was glad her peer leader and advisor allowed
her group free time to get to know the campus without guidance.
“They let us get out on our own,” she said Tuesday.
“It’s good that they gave us free time. It makes
you get to know campus.”
