Hey guys I'm a senior in high school and was just wondering if you guys that go to school out west have any recommendation of colleges out there/ would tell me if you like it or anything like that! I'm looking at University of Colorado Boulder, University of Utah, and other colleges like that... any input is appreciated! Thanks

U of U is the shit. 20 mins from the mountains, 40 from the resorts. 5 hours from Moab, and the best climate imaginable.

Does anyone know what are some of the more academic colleges that are near skiing even if it may be not the best skiing?

Oh what on earth gave them that idea?...

They're not so dumb after all. Paying out of state tuition to go to CU Boulder and party your dick off would be a blast, but I think you've got better options that would please you and your parents more.

Luckily for me CU is in state.

Any suggestions for some of the better academic options to look at? I'm only a junior right now.

Not to be a fanboy or anything just because I'm going there, but for me it's the perfect school. I couldn't really afford to go out of state but I got WUE for my SAT scores from MSU so my tuition is 150% of resident in-state tuition. I visited last year and I love the campus, they have international business classes, and it's close to some seriously dope skiing. I heard they have a pretty good engineering program too if you are interested in that.

I go to Western State, except we changed from a college to university now!

Western State Colorado University ,
free bus to the mountain, (25 ish min drive), awesome skiing at Crested Butte, hardly ever wait in lift lines, pass for college students costs about $500, fun town except if you are looking for a big town kinda feel gunni is not the place
