I need your help. See my main choice would be utah but it may turn out pricier then I had expected. I received no scholarships and Finacial aid is pending. montana wants to give we me a 10,000 scholarship (2,500 a year) Skiing is a huge part of my ultimate decision and since im a park skier park city seems awesome. How is the park scene at Montana? whats my best bet. Shit I hate making big decisions and its kind of last minute.

Big Sky and Moonlight are about an hour away from MSU. Bridger is only like 15 minutes away which is reeeeal nice but they dont have a great park. Good mountain overall tho. If you can, Live in Roskie, and if not, South Hedges. Avoid Wangford at all costs.

Also, at least when I was there (2 years ago) the girls were ugly. Like a 7 in my hometown would be a 10 up there.
Its also a small ass town, so if you're trying to do stuff other than ski and party I'd recommend somewhere else

the U. if you're a skier and not from here, all I am saying is international airport in slc and 7 resorts all within 30 minutes. practically unbeatable. + the U has an awesome vibe

SLCs U of Us the shit, I did a semester their, had to come back though. Wish I would have stayed.

People are chill, campus is nice but a little big (get a bike), hiking trails/smoke spots are a 3min walk from the dorms, tons of people that ride/ski, girls are pretty but a lot do turn out to be mormon, I lived in chapel glen and the RAs really didn't care what you were doing as long as no one complained, And the engineering and biology programs are really good. HC always had good food even though it got a little repetitive.

the only real down side is it was sort of a commuter school, there weren't a ton of kids that lived really close to the campus but there was still a decent amount.

All of this is true. Except although it is a commuter school plenty of people live right off campus, you just have to meet the people. You can meet plenty of people at the dorms.

The skiing is awesome without question and super close. If you really want to ski a lot you're for sure going to need a car. Class schedules can easily be made with skiing in mind.

Ahahahaha you are retarded

We have awesome snow, amazing terrain, and a fucking huge mountain! Big sky has no lift lines. Moonlights park is off the chain, unfortunately not a lot of people ride there. So you never have to wait though.

We do not have insanely smoking girls, but the ones we do are DTF and down to party, and also ski reallly fucking good.
