Ok well im looking at these three colleges plus msu(which is where i live right now so i dont need to ask any questions).
So anyone who has been to/attends neveda state in reno, western state CO, or u of utah could let me know how the schools are? Good campus? Easy, good skiing(park and pow)? Lots of partys? ect.

Fuck all of those and come to Fort Lewis. Better education, plus we have Purg which is 20 minutes away, Wolf Creek which is 50 minutes away, Silverton about 50 away (best skiing in Colorado), and Telluride which has a pretty sick park shit tons of cliffs and chutes and you can get a pass for 107 if you are a student. Enough said.

CU is def best education out of those but if you want to get into it you have to have decent grades but nothing stellar.
There are so many threads on this we should start a ski college cult. Any takers or does one exist?

Reno is pretty damn fun eventhough it's a little ghetto. But you'll be about 45 minutes from th lake, 35 mnutes from Northstar, and about an hour from Alpine and Squaw. Don't go to Colorado.

From the University of Nevada, Reno, hop on I-80 and you can hit up
Northstar in about a half hour, Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows around
45 minutes, same with the Donner area. Go south on 395 and there is
Mt. Rose within 30 minutes, and then South shore resorts anywhere from
1.5 - 2 hrs away. Mammoth 3 hours. There is partying, and you are
less than a mile away from downtown Reno if you want to hit up the
casinos, bars, and nightclubs. The campus is actually pretty nice, and they are currently building a huge new library and a new student union.

U of U is the place to go if u like skiing. My frined went to CU last year and if you go there you still have to have like a whole day set aside for skiing cuz the resorts are over an hour away. At U of U theres PC, Alta, and Snowbird within 30 minutes, plus Brighton is only a little further so you can get done with your classes around or before noon and then head up to the hill for the afternoon. The partying in Utah is not very good at all though. Im a partier and im surviving out here tho. Just hit up the frats and theres as good of partys as any place. Plus if you go to Boulder you'll turn into a pot smoking hippie. Nah, im just kidding, but my friend kinda did that. Both campuses are sick as hell. CU is probably cooler looking and everything seems pretty close together but once you get inside the dorms you realize they're pretty old. Utah is still really nice on the outside and amazing on the inside. Everything is brand new. Classes are a little far away from the dorms though. I cant speak much for the longboarding at CU but Utah's campus is so fucking amazing for longboarding. We ride down the hill from the doorstep of our dorm to the bottom of the football stadium and then get on the free train that goes around campus and take it back up to the dorms. Its over a mile down and if you want you can keep going all the way down to Salt Lake and that'd probably be like 3 miles long.

Old thread that i am bumping. I just checked out U of U and it is soo fucking sick.
One thing i need to know about U of U is partying and chronic. The college is like the fucking perfect thing i was looking for , and i will probably go if the partying is sufficant and the chronic flows(which im guessing its better than montana) any other input from anyone else??

dude, montana will always have cheaper/better chronic most/all of the time. We are right on the canadian border. Probably alot harder to find in utah, but its still there. just gotta know the right people. When i was in PC one time, it was mad hard to find ganj after we ran out.

my parents are down with me going to utah and im doing nols this sumer which is through u of u so i'll get mad college credit there and probably be able to skip freshman year cuz i have ap stuff to. i have it down between u of u and cu and i know if i go to cu boulder between partying skiing and school, school will definitely take the backseat of the three and i will probably do horrible and get kicked out.i have another year to think tho but i bet i go to u of u
All times are Eastern (-4)
