If you're into art this would be the ticket. Missoula has great skiing too.

That's what I was going to recommend. I live about 30 minutes away from UNR and it's really close to quite a few mountains. Northstar, Heavenly, Squaw, Alpine, Boreal... definitely ideal in my opinion. Cold in the winter and hot in the summer. Plus you have Lake Tahoe to go to, which is beyond beautiful. Check itttttttt

If you like California (I assume you would) you should look at Sierra Nevada College. Its in a small town called Incline Village on the border of Nevada and California, so you can smoke weed and gamble legally haha. Its a private liberal arts school with a great art program and business program. All the teachers are experts in their fields of study and have retired to come life a life up here in Tahoe. The school is on the lake and class sizes are small.

The school are has a nationally ranked Ski and Snowboard team. They offer skiing classes, avy courses, an outdoor leadership major, a sustainability major, and tons of other cool stuff. The people here are awesome as well and you cant beat having a nice little resort .3 miles away form the school. There are about 5 other world class resorts withing a 45 minute drive. Let me know if you want to know anymore.

Or you could just pile up your money in a parking lot and burn it. The degree from SNC is worth about the same as the mediocre sized shit I flopped out in the toilet this morning. The second one, not the first one. The first is likely more valuable.
