Don't do CU Boulder. I70 traffic will make the drive around 2.5 hours to Key or Breck,\

MSU ftw

It's true that an associates degree isn't worth much, but those credits could transfer to a 4 year school.

This, and other remarks about MSU sounds very positive. We're taking my son out to MSU in a week....he'll be a freshman, and my first to go away to college. I hope he likes!!

UBC

- 45 Minutes from campus to Grouse / Cypress / Seymour mountains. Seymour has the nike 6.0 greatest hits park.

- 1.5 - 2 hours from campus to Whistler - Blackcomb. Student seasons passes for $400 CDN.

- Depending on your program, UBC is rated as highly as 22nd in North America and 36th in the world. You're going to get a good education too.

The only downside to UBC is that it's difficult to get in to. Some undergrad programs require 90% averages out of highschool along with a sizeable extracurricular supplemental application.

Montana State...

Three mountains all under and hour away... Free buses to them all. Big mountain, sick parks and a really good school... Don't fool yourself CO is overrated especially for the before/after classes shredders.
