Lake Tahoe Community College is closest, but UNLV and University of Reno are close too.

Sierra Nevada college is a good choice if you're a rich, preppy punk looking to party and ski all the time and not learn too much... apparently most 6th grade classes are harder than SNC. Which floats the boats for some people... hell, the place even provides everyone a ski locker.

yeah if you want to ski 130 days and just want to be able to say you go to college, head to SNC. UNR is a better school, and Davis better yet. I'll get 60 days this year while going to school full time in Davis. UNLV isn't remotely close to tahoe.

the best that is the closest is probably ucdavis, though i think its somewhat more difficult to get into coming from out of state.

SNC way too many dollars. Nice school but not if you looking to find some ladies. I visited and there was a damn macdonalds for 45 mins around

sac state is about 20 minutes closer to tahoe than davis, but it's not a better school than UNR, so you'd be better off there. And there isn't much real skiing in the mountains up by Chico. The donner summit ski areas (sugar bowl, etc) are an easy hour and a half from davis. Oh yeah and sac state's D1 football team has lost to us 9 out of the past 11 years. You don't wanna go there.
