I know some people that go to UNR....its not that bad but parts of Reno are shady....other than that your really close to Tahoe and tons of legit skiing. When it snows in and around Reno theres a lot of urban spots

Look at USC. Nice school in a shitty part of town. There are sketchy parts to all cities. Enjoy Tahoe though, real close to some real good skiing.

That was one of my choices, too bad i got stuck at USU. Tahoe is sooo legit so your gonna have a blast. and its only like a 4 hour drive to the california coast if you dont get stuck in traffic

Whoever's talking shit on Reno needs to shut the fuck up because you dont know what you're talking about. UNR's closer to more legit skiing than just about any other school in the country... Not to mention, it's a fairly legit school with some pretty damn good programs. Not to mention it's probably one of the most affordable in the country. I know so many good people from UNR and god damn i've had fun in and around campus. It's actually in a relatively nice part of town, and there's a lot of fun to be had.

no, it doesnt have the atmosphere of places like.. say, Boulder or Burlington, but who gives a fuck. You're way closer to even more skiing than CU has to offer, you're in the west coast and you're only about a half hour from Mt. Rose (and its awesome backcountry area), like 40 minutes from Squaw or Alpine and under an hour from a feast of other way sick places.

You're going to enjoy going there. I got accepted too, but i'm still weighing my options since i'd be paying out of state fees there. otherwise? I'd go there in a heartbeat if I didnt have to pay more for it...

Also, I grew up down in the bay area which has some ghetto ass places - including the town I grew up in - which is way more sketch than Reno will ever be and it has about 60% less people living in it. Reno is fucking tame when it comes to what people call 'sketchy'.

GARY INDIANA


Among U.S. cities with a population of 100,000 or more, Gary has the highest percentage of African Americans, 84% (as of the 2000 U.S. census)

Gary's fortunes have risen and fallen with those of the steel industry. In the 1960s, like many other American urban centers, Gary entered a downward spiral of decline. Gary's decline was brought on by the growing overseas competitiveness in the steel industry, which had causedU.S. Steel to layoff many workers from the Gary area. Crime increased, including use and trade in illegal drugs.

Gary was rated the 17th most dangerous city in the United States according to Morgan Quitno's 2007 analysis of crime rates
