Replying to Should I be looking at colleges in UT mainly b/c of skiing?

I know it sounds bad, but thats one of the main reasons I'm looking into out of state colleges. I (meaning my parents) have around 40k for college. If I go local, I can attend college for veryyy cheap (scholarship, so its around 3k a year, which is a joke). The rest of the college $ is mine, so it comes down to;

1. Attending an out of state for 4 years->taking loans and spending my 40k, but having a greattt 4 years that include snowbird, alta, etc.

2. Going to college locally and then transferring, so I wont need any loans or have to worry about money too much, I just wont have a lot (or any) when I get out.

3. Attend local college for 4 years, have roughly 25k that I can spend on a used car (bmw,infiniti, blahblah) and visit UT during winter break for a couple weeks.

WHICH # would you choose; 1 , 2, or 3. thx and dont hate, just need some opinions (or #s)
