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

I think usc is really far from mammoth but they're 1hr 30 from Mountain high and 2hrs from Bear Mountain.

Totally serious. I've got friends who go to all three of those and ski every weekend because their school rents them a cabin in Truckee for the entire winter + pays for gas.

This is not true. CU is what you make of it.

I'm a dean's-list sophomore in engineering physics and applied math, and I am on my second paid research position here. I run with a delightful crowd of both stoners and high-level intellectuals. There are a lot of very smart people here, along with fantastic academic opportunities, you just gotta not let yourself get sucked into the party scene.

Think what you want. They are all respectable schools, the ski teams there rack up a considerable amount of days on the mountain, and they party hard.
