I'm looking to go into a college with a teaching(elementary education) program and is also located near sick ski mountains. I live in NY and have a ~92 average and am gonna do pretty good on the ACT. The University of Utah has an educational program, but I don't think it's one of their main one's (as long as I can major in it, I'm happy).
I just have a couple questions before I seriously consider the U, any help will be great!;
1. Is it a difficult college to get into? If not, is it because its not a great school, academically)
2. I won't be able to bring a car..so are the mountains far away by public transportation? It says 20-40 miles away are snowbird/park city/etc. but I don't really know for sure.
3. Should I be looking into different colleges in Utah? (that have a major in education, specifically elementary)
4. Would it be best to live on campus? Its 30k for out of state students, which is a lot!
5. Are season passes expensive? I think I read something about college season passes at around 600?
Thanks for any info, I'm really looking forward to getting into a college that is located near great ski mountains and is also good academically speaking. I live in NY and used to be a parkrat, but after a recent trip to CO for a week, started appreciating pow skiing, and now I would do anything to go to college and ski at great mountains at the same time!
