Similarly, the area is dependent upon the University for several reasons. Students ask the community to supply them with housing, churches, stores and entertainment. However, the community requires the commercial trade and publicity from the University and those connected with ASU. Boone area merchants employ over one-half of those students on campus that currently hold jobs. Interns are dependent on Boone and Watauga County for on-the-job training and the benefit of experienced professionals. The students learn something from the community almost everyday about life in the real world. This experience is priceless and just as valuable as anything the ASU campus offers.
