I've started looking at colleges, and I've narrowed it down to a couple, let me know if you know anything about them, I'd like to hear:

Drexel University
UPENN
Northeastern University
John Hopkins University
Georgetown University

Thanks.

John Hopkins no doubt, especially if you play lacrosse.

it sounds like you're looking for a school where you can get a really good education, but still ski once in a while, too. if you want to look into venturing out to the PNW, check out University of Puget Sound in WA. its a highly reputable school and near some nice mountains- look into it!

My advice: Take a year off.

a year off definately isn't bad advice...i did it after high school and don't regret it at all. i spent the whole winter skiing so it was pretty sweet. just be sure to actually go to college after that year, you don't want to get caught in a vicious cycle and become a bum.

I go to georgetown now, it's pretty tight, and it actually snowed here today but ski-wise there's not much from what i hear (im a freshman). It's a real good school, some people think its too hard but it depends what classes you take and what school you're in (business vs. college vs. foreign service, etc) check it out for yourself though, any other questions pm me
