Ok i kno this is a little late to be makin this thread and NS is about the last place i should prolly look for this but i need help. Im a senior and i still really have very little idea of where the hell i want to go to college. Ive looked at montana state and thats really about it. But anyway, i want to go sumwhere in the rockies (im in Chicago now) so give me some options.

It all depends on what you want out of school...want big, want small...what field of study...cost...all kinds of factors but those are a few to chew on....

i dunno dude... first off i wouldn't plan your career around being able to ski, but that's a decision for you to make. as for big schools in the rockies, i dunno... try cu boulder or something. there aren't a shit ton of schools in that area.

cu is full of hippies but if you like that then go there. csu is a good school i like it here. if you dont mind mormons and 3% beer then look at utah schools.

check out the college match maker on www.collegeboard.com . It's great, it has a survey thing you take and it matches you up with what interests you pick, what majors, etc.

Well I've heard MSU is pretty awesome, and that is from two very good friends. They have elementary ed programs, and if you said cost isn't really an option, why not?

CU is full of douchebag white kids who want to be black and sluts from california, nothing against CU, just the kids who go there.

it'd be helpful to research the certification you get when you graduate. some states will accept you being certified by other states, while sometimes you get stuck retaking all sorts of new tests to teach in the state you want to live in. look for a program that offers a program that can certify you in a wide variety of states/locations.

I don't think you'll have any problems with getting accepted to MSU if you decide to go that way

colleges love those tests...k...so csu is great for ed degrees so I hear and they got a club that has a weekend house in the mts.....other than that reputable ed degrees are tough to find unless you go to the midwest....
