Alright boys and girls. I'm making my desition of which school to go to, and I need your help. There's got to be these conditions-
1) North East- (NY, Penn, Vt...)
2) Near a good mountain or resort
3) A prety decent school (I'm not a dumbass, and I want a future)

Any ideas?

Your priorities are a little out of line, you want skiing over a good education? That makes no sense.

NE is the home of small Liberal Arts schools. and all are with in some resort, and pretty easy to get too. Most of the schools tend to be pretty good too, if your into the whole liberal arts college thing. In fact im in one right now

No I want a good education first. If you misunderstood me, that's okay. I have like a 3.6 GPA so I hope to get in a good school. I was just wondering if you new of any in the Northeast. I'm going for Business Managment by the way.

Yea, you huys actually said what I expected. I was going to focus on getting into the University of Vermont. Dartmouth as a top school just to apply in. and my local SUNY UB (bah) for last resort. I'll put more in there, but thanks for conferming it.

st mike's in burlington is tight if you want a small liberal arts school in the heart of Vermont. You get a pass to smugglers notch for 25 bucks cause the school provides them for everybody. How sick is that? I've skied upwards of 60 days this year. Smuggs, stowe = 45 minutes. sugarbush, Jay peak, mad river glenn all under hour and a half. killington okemo, mt snow, stratton all around 2. And no he doesn't have his prioties out of whack. how do you think i chose my school.

skiing so fun it may cause loss of bladder control

Bowdoin's pretty close to sunday river, and it has a shuttle there i believe. it was my second choice, but i got into cornell early decision. you should definitely look at bowdoin. their mascot is the polar bear, that says it all!



Go baby go, it's a skiing inferno.

UVM is so dam $$$ and too far for me so i would say fuck that cuz it isnt that close to skiing. I goto Umass and the parties are awesome and mt snow is close and umass is a lot less $ than UVM.
