Whats up guys im headin to the U next year and im pretty stoked about it.  Any other kids gona be freshman next year.  im also currently in the process of lookin for a room mate and i think it would be pretty cool to room with an NSer that is down for the same stuff i am skiing, drinkin, partying same old good stuff. 

and to any one that goes to utah any other info that you think would be good to know?  i basically searchbarred as much as i could and read all the threads but if you guys have any random shit that youve learned while living there it would be sick to hear.

liquor laws are a pain in the ass here, in my opinion.

Other than that welcome, it's dope here.

They really aren't the bad at all, they are so talked up and overexaggerated. Utah has some real cheap liquor prices and beer is fairly priced. 3.2% weight = 4.0% volume and any normal "light" beer in any other state rarely exceeds 4.5% and keystone light (which SO many kids drink) is 4.2%, .2% more than utah beer.

Yeah, coming from CT you will hardly notice a difference in liquor laws.  You can get gas at gas stations here in Utah; however, much fewer liquor stores to choose from.  But in all honesty, I hope you aren't basing your college decision on full strength beer.

If your worried about not being able to get drunk, just buy a wine bag. They provide plenty of fun. Eheath approves.

I've already been accepted, and now just trying to decide between the U and Purdue. Does anyone know how much of a difference its going to make on applications when they look at where I've graduated from?

go 803! way better than everything else. constant shenanigans going on here...and as heff said grab that room, he lives there now, nice and big....oh and try to get first floor. anything above when you get too blackout you need to take the elevator and it usually has pee, poop or puke in it.

if it is a possibility, bring a car. Parking passes are dirt cheap for a college. Public transportation works great for getting to class and downtown, but other than that you will want a car.

Yeah, the U doesn't have any stupid bullshit rules like not having a car. Like tits said, cars are clutch or else youre gonna be beggin or payin for rides to the mountain alot. You don't need the car for going to class really, but for going anywhere off campus you'll need it.

alright word. my gramps, who is paying for my college, is convinced that i don't need to bring my car because i can take the trax to the mountain. i did that once and it was a massive pain in the ass.

Oh man, don't go to Purdue. If you've never been to Indiana, I highly suggest not going there. Ever. It's seriously the world's biggest shithole outside of campus.

ask her if she trusts you driving around in the snow more than other people. Because it snows here a lot. that works pretty well.

i dunno man. basically i'm guaranteed a very good paying job running my family's farm eventually. so i'm not necessarily considering UW for the money i could make. i think it's a really fun school also, and seattle is awesome. u of u does have epic skiing though, so i'm pretty torn.

Shit dude wish I would've seen this thread sooner, it wouldve been sick to room with an NSer. I already got my room a couple days ago and I'm just down the hall in room 110. Glad i'm not the only one who thought everything was complicated though ha
