Appalachian State University

The pride of the Appalachian region is Appalachian State University, originally built as a teaching college for the members of this region. When I think of Appalachian I think of football and enjoying the games, with the chilly weather reminding you that you are in the mountains. The Rock is a well-known location for any Mountaineer football fan located at one of the highest points on campus. The football games bring in a variety of fans young and old. These games bring students, future students, and alumni all together to cheer on a classic American sport. #appalachianechoes

I took this image from the River Street Parking Deck. It is of traffic on Appalachian State University Campus with the mountains behind it all, dotted with a few houses. For me, it captures an ever-increasing place of learning, nestled within Appalachia and one type of resident that calls the mountains home. This picture holds just a small part of everyday life that happens in the Appalachia region.
