Boone is a great place when you’re in need of a change of scenery. The views are amazing and the campus is absolutely beautiful. The community is such a tight knit and everyone is welcoming. I will say Boone praises to be diverse in various ways but it could use a little bit more. However living in Boone has been a great opportunity for me and it’s a place that has allowed me to continue my education.
Boone is a beautiful that is very over populated, it is a great place to go to college but life after college would most likely be heavily influence by the college scene.
Boone is a smaller town with not many options to shop or eat. It is a college town so lots of traffic but still little diversity. Most things close before it gets late. But it is a beautiful town with lots of mountains and hiking trails with skiing in the winter. The schools are also pretty great!
