Which college do you think is the best, including price, education, and quality of skiing? University of Utah, Montana State, or Portland State?

i'd say u of u. best skiing, (7 resorts within 40 minutes,) great division 1 sports if you're a football or basketball fan, awesome campus, seems like a fun time. also, bowling alley on campus. that oughta do it right there.

oh and way better mexican food in SLC than in portland or montana state

portland is a way cooler city, but i've heard psu is pretty boring. everyone lives at home in portland.

I'll be at MSU next year. I guess Bozeman sucks if you're a big city person... but I couldn't stand to live in a city and Bozeman is such an awesome town. It'll be a good change from Minnesota

forgot to mention that MSU is pretty generous with scholarships for ACT/SAT test scores. My out-of-state tuition ended up being cheaper at MSU than my in-state tuition would be at Minnesota with only a 28 ACT score

true, i was talking more along the lines of the general people there and the vibe in SLC besides ski homies...I feel like SLC is full of douchebags who are not chill as a whole, besides the ski kids.

The drive from Portland to Hood will suck the life out of you, one and half hours of driving of semi residential areas with Oregon's weird traffic laws sucks. I just got back from there and the whole time I was missing the the quick drives to the mountains I enjoyed in Utah.
