Choices are decent most places if you want business. Any particular region you what to live in? (Colorado, BC, etc.)

Bullshit. Half of the college experience is what goes on outside the lecture hall.

haha, you want to bet on that? I'm on an academic scholarship and transferring to the DU school of business after my sophomore year. Whats the point of rushing into the books when you can enjoy the ride? Life is to short to sit at a desk all the time.

I'm not questioning the value of a decent education. My philosophy is simply that your life needs a healthy balance between work and play. Regardless of your age, 16, 21, 35, 67, life is much more fulfilling if you can get a little of both.

As for college choices, their are plenty of decent schools within reasonable distance of skiing.

Obviously you shouldn't choose a college purely proximity to a ski area...but I was making the assumption that secondgeneration_skier was already smart enough to figure that out. He did ask for a "decent college" close to skiing. You are arguing with a brick wall.

Okay, this needs to end. You obviously can't figure out what the hell I'm saying to you. To answer the asinine question you just asked would require me to repeat myself. I already addressed it. Please work on your reading comprehension.

I agree with with the idea that you need to consider both you education AND lifestyle when selecting a college. If you select a collage ONLY for education, you will end up just another dime-a-dosen drone in the workforce. There is more to life than working you ass off for the paycheck. He said, and I quote, "yo wheres there a decent college i can go to that is with in like an hours distance of some sick skiing?" He is considering both his education and his lifestyle. We shouldn't be having this argument.

You forgot to add "i dono maybe buisness..." And I immediately replied to him saying "Choices are decent most places if you want business. Any particular region you what to live in? (Colorado, BC, etc.)"

You are trying to probe WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY to deep into this. He asked a simple question and was trying to help him out. The you rolled in and started to critique is life strategy. I argued against you, partially on his behalf, and he agreed with everything I had to say. This confirmed that you ultimately still have no argument. For the love of God, stop trying to cover your ass. You have no case to rest. I'm done with you.

exactly how good is the education of uvm? i like burlington and skiing is right there. the "lifestyle" side is sick. but im not sure if it has a good education system. as far as i know, its sort of like "meh."

If your thinking about UVM, why not just come up to Bishop's. Its in the same area, Its in canada, The education is great, The drinking age is 18 and everyone is happy.
