For skiing, Lincoln, but in terms of a cool city to study at my #1 pick would be Wellington. It's about 4 hrs from Mt Ruapehu, and is my favourite city in NZ. Lincoln doesn't have a ton to do. I guess its an agricultural uni where most people study farming. However, Christchurch is right there and thats also a good city. About 1.5hr drive to skiing. Canterbury has some epic small club fields, and a "resort" about the same distance.
I would go to Lincoln, but definitely live in Christchurch. While not as cool as Wellington, i like it there a lot too. You would need to drive about 30mins to Lincoln for school but have a much better social life ect. I'm about to head out, and wrote this fast, but if you want any more info PM or email me. I'm in the US for this winter, but i live in NZ.
and also dont believe all the crap you'll hear about lincoln being only an agriculture university, yes it may be strong at that but its not just for that!
