To quote quantitative geoscience major Bryson Honeycutt '21, "Studying geology in Boone is almost like looking at the entire world in one place. The geographical position of Appalachian promotes the perfect setting to learn about earth sciences in general … and the hands-on skills acquired cannot be reconstructed or mimicked in the classroom. This is why Appalachian surpasses many larger and other well-known institutions with respect to its geological and environmental department — it is the same reason why I chose to become a Mountaineer."
