I am probably going to go to Western for school and was wondering how long it takes to get from the campus to Baker?

Depends on traffic/conditions and how baked you are.  Hour and a half ish, I think usually less than that though.

My bad. What I was trying to say was do they plow the roads often/whenever their is alittle snow or do they wait until there is a couple inches.

I might hitch hike but i won't be there until winter of 10/11

Pretty sure the crew that maintains 542 has the best equipment and overall is the best in the PNW

Western's a legit school. If I didn't grow up in Bham it would rank in my top 3 schools, based on academics/proximity to skiing.

Pit stops at IHOP typically add about an hour or so. Could be quicker if Jose is cooking.

Word, although I am a Griz, I highly recommend heading to MSU if you are looking for some narly shredding. You honestly can't beat Montana pow and there's not as much crowding as Colorado or Utah. There's also UM in Missoula with Skibowl 15 minutes from campus, backcountry at Lolo Pass 45 minutes away, Lookout Pass and Lost Trail Pass an hour and 45 minutes away and Whitefish is only 3.

Thanks for all the replies. Both those schools look excellent. Does anyone know whether there is good mountain biking around Bozeman? I gotta have something to do in the summer too.

Ya the campus is super sick, definitely one of the best parts.  Whatever you do, don't live on North campus, at least in Mathes or Nash or Edens (Edens north is aight though).

And Chik-Fil-A is bomb as fuck.  I'm about to go pick up a sammich.

if you eat at chik-fil-a you might as well skin obama and use his flesh as a napkin.

Just needing some more input.

The Gyros are in the VU, NOT the VC.
VC = viking commons, the dining hall. 
VU = Viking Union, the place Chik-fil-a is at.

Where do they have pannini's??? Those are bomb

Sub connection sucks, at least when I got a sandwich there, it was trying to be Subway but failed massively.

Elijah: Don't live on North campus, it's a police state, filled with snitches and bible humping fools.  The ridge is legit though, where you live doesn't matter much though, I live in Mathes and I'm in Kappa every single day until about 12 or 1 am.  On a second thought, why are you paying to live in a dorm when you have a ballin ass house right by the ridge??

Panini's are in the rec center and they are NO good.

Gyros are good

Sub Connection is best.  Baja chicken, toasted.

Baker used to have 2 parks, the park on chair 8 (big park) and the park on chair 3/4 (pinky park). They've taken the chair 8 park off of the maps, so I assume the pinky park is all thats left.

Anyone that thinks Western is "easier" then UW is fooling themselves.  Each department is required by the State and other agencies to meet certain guidelines/class load in order to have graduates.  There is a reason for accreditation.

Now will the quality of the education be better?  That's up for debate.  I like the think the students at Western follow the work hard, play hard mentality.
