"good" is all relative.
U of Utah is a "good" school, almost any university is. I'm assuming you mean above average on a reasonable level. Amherst and Dartmouth in New England are "good"

Good choice, the skiing around Bozeman is awesome most of the time. I think the education is pretty good overall as long as you stay away from the parties, you can definitely get a good job coming out of MSU if you do everything right.

Define "not too far." I don't know about you, but it takes me at least 5 hours to drive from Bozeman to Big Mountain, and that's on a good day. But there's 3 different ski areas within about an hour of Bozeman, so you really don't have to go that far to ski.

MSU
bridger is 15 to 20 min, at least in the summer
big sky is 50 to 60 min " "
Moonlight " "
big sky and moonlight now offer a joint pass which makes big sky, moonlight huge.
Not to mention bc. And Jackson Hole is definitly drivable, 5 hours in the summer.
add that all that great skiing to awesome climbing, biking, fly fishing etc. and how the hell am I going to get through college next year?

UNC isn't anywhere near a mountain. Oh yeah and it sucks...who the hell would live in Greeley willingly?
On another note CMC is the laughing stock of education in Colorado. Everyone makes fun of CMC. CU Boulder is by far the best public school in Colorado.

uvm doesnt get any discounts,
definately not from stowe, they have the most expensive pass out of all the close mountains.
but all passes arent too outrageous.
