any body go to: FGCU, Coastal Carolina, NC State, FL State, or UCCS?

im going to be applying as a PGM major for them, the only reason im considering UCCS is for skiing, but ive heard its a shitty school and other things bad about dorms and shit, but how is it distance wise for decent skiing? hows the snow, im assuming retty good out there. also any bpdy go to these schools as a PGM major? how are the dorms there?

also i would be transfering in as a sophmore.


thanks for any help, as uual Karma will be given for helpful peeps

yup, should be super sick. also im only considering UCCS, if i didnt put this before, for some skiing, so if it has real shitty skiing or something that wont make it worth it compared to going somewere south, i wouldnt consider it

Well if you are going to UCCS in the Springs, you might as well just go to Boulder if you can afford it.  I'm in the Springs and we are 2 hours from most mountains in Summit County (Breck, Keystone, Vail, etc.) so the skiing is great.  You would probably have more fun in Boulder though just because a lot of people at UCCS are from the Springs and the whole college scene isn't so prevalent.

I know a kid at FGCU and FL State. The kid from FGCU didnt really like it and came back to the northeast but i know the kid at FL State liked the program a lot. Have you looked at ASU or Methodist? i know both those schools have really good PGM programs

granted, you can't pick a school SOLELY on skiing, i can defintely make the point that you should go to a school where you're going to enjoy a good quality of life, even if  it doesn't necessarily have the best rep on your list. i know that i'd be a very unhappy girl if i chose to go to school a long way away from skiing, i can't imagine myself anywhere but ballerado at this point. if you're all about skiing, it'd be a huge bummer to go to school in a flat snow-less place, because all day you'd just be dreaming about shredding, yadadamean?   

that said, a friend of mine goes to coastal carolina and says there's an overwhelming majority of dumb stereotype sorority hoes. cool if that's what you're into i suppose. i guess i'm not all too informed on those other schools.

My step dad went to NC state. I don't know too much about it but I know it is good for anything engineering or agriculture related. I want to go to appalachian state in NC because of their oenology program.

State is probably about 2 hours from skiing if that is something helpful. Appalachian ski mtn has a really good terrain park and is probably the closest. A lady from state came to my class the other day and gave me a tractor shaped stress toy because I answered a question right.

I took the old version in 7th grade and got like 500 in math and 400 in reading. That's not great but that was in 7th grade. Something about standardized tests just come so easy to me.
