Aggie, you sound a bit triggered... the University of Texas at Austin campus was not a part of the above question... feel free to explore our Austin campus in your own original new post... now, which campus looks more attractive to you, the Texas A&M campus or Appalachian State campus??

Seconded. Boone is a great town and is deep in the mountains, which makes for gorgeous scenary. The campus itself is pretty bleh, though.

I’ve been to both and it isn’t even close, App State by a mile. Smaller, sure, but great charm and character. I was surprised at how ugly a campus A&M actually is. A campus comprised entirely of Eastern Block, aesthetically dystopian architecture and homosexuality. Boone also much better than College Station.

The area around Boone is nothing but state and national parks too

I used to work in random small factory cities in China for a few years. These were not the pretty, scenic areas of China.... more like the rather notorious ugliest parts of it.
That is what college station reminds me of.

Yeah, that's like patently false. There is lots of green space, but the vast majority of it is in private ownership.
Travel south towards Ashville, and you're right. Not so much in the area around Boone.
Edit: Boone is located Basically in the Red Dot in the NW corner of the State.

Live 80 miles from Boone in Winston-Salem NC...... The Blue Ridge mountains and Blowing Rock are heaven on earth... people are the most genuinely friendly there are.

Now do App State vs. the 40 acres.

I could compare the UT Austin campus to App State Aggie, but the point is, App State is the school and Boone, NC is the town that your official representative Texas A&M yell leader disparaged, the night before Appy State then whipped your arses on national TV in your own stadium... then ESPN College GameDay booted you guys in order to set up their next telecast from the Appalachian State campus this upcoming Saturday...
Thus the aggy vs. App State campus comparison was more relevant this week, IMO...

Use relative photos.
That's actually a flattering example of the Aggie campus
They have the one Old quad and corps area
Athletic facilities
And trash

If the shoe fits....
Most people I know don't choose where they decide to go to school based on what the campus looks like. But 'sips and their obsessions with A&M will continue to make stupid comparisons about A&M.
Next do a comparison about size, or income after graduation, or something that really matters.

Yea, Boone to Elizabethton, TN is basically ski resorts to the South on the NC side (Sugar and Beech), Blowing Rock and Chetola, and then Watauga Lake and hills on the Tennessee side before you get to Hampton.
Gorgeous drive.

This.
A lot of otherwise very nice campuses wouldn’t be as nice as Appy State’s

A&M’s landscaping architecture department must operate remotely.
All seriousness, that has to be the ugliest campus I’ve seen in all of the SEC.

Man, you really took those disparaging yell leader comments personally.
You give a frick what a 20-year-old kid says at what amounts to a pep rally?
Seriously?
You must be another Randolph Duke disciple.

Except to many acres being bought up and owned privately with large homes for vacationers destroying the ridge line. Not to mention the freshwater streams are starting to get polluted with the runoff from all the building hurting the fishing among other things.
