Adirondack Region

I live in the Syracuse area of central New York, but am considering moving up to the Adirondack region for college. Does anyone go to any of the SUNY or community colleges up in this area, if so what do you think? Basically I'm moving to get out of my town, but I can't really afford to move out of state yet. The Adirondack Region seems the best region in NY to get good skiing while still going to school. I have been considering Clinton, North Country, and Adirondack community colleges, hopefully to transfer within the next year or so. If anyone could drop some info about these schools or the surrounding area I would appreciate it.

hey, try Suny Plattsburgh, it is a killer time. Whiteface is like 45 mins away, Gore is like an hour an half. Burlington is across the Lake (ferry ride is like 30 min.) Canada is like an hour away as well. People are cool, my buddy went there, he fucken loved it. I lived up there for a summer and fucken dug it too. There are plenty of bars and shit going on as well.

There were too many Long Island douches in Plattsburgh for my liking so I transfered to Potsdam, then Montana, now back to Potsdam because I love it so much.

Where is clarkson? Currently, I'm living in Warrensburg, NY which is right near Lake George, 18 miles from Gore. I'm going to ACC in Queensbury, anyone from around here?
