Alright so I need help. I have no clue where to go to college. I live in Illinois about 20 mins out of chicago. I have a 3.7 cumulative GPA with a 32 on my ACT. So I don't NEED to ski when I go to school but I wana have a good time. That being said, all these suggestions don't have to be in colorado. I don't mind stoners because I'm kinda considered one and I want a good party scene. Schools I'm interested in are Michigan State, CU Boulder, Denver, maybe Colorado College, Colgate, Texas A&M. I really need help so just post suggestions or if you know anything about these schools.

I attend the University of Denver, Colorado.

Currently in my Junior year.

Its a relatively small school (6k Undergrads)

Beautiful campus

Incredible Business School

People party hard

People blaze, but not as much as you would think being colorado and all. DU is a private school, and therefore attracts a lot of preppy rich kids who can't handle a hit of weed without bugging out, however with that said, I still toke a bit, and have great a time with awesome friends.

Highly suggest visiting if your going to apply.

Hope this helps, and good luck, college shopping is NOT easy.

Look at the U of Utah. i may be transferring there next year for my major purposes.

I currently go to CU Boulder.

The campus is absolutely beautiful

The People are also beautiful

The party Scene is A+

Awesome buisness school

You get Breckenridge, Keystone, Vail, Copper, plus about 20 other resorts all within reason

You get Denver if you're craving a city vibe every once and awhile

and you could easily toke when you like within reason.

i like it.

what didn't you like about michigan? its a great school, and with a 32 on the ACT its possible to get in out of state. i think my friend had the same (if not similar) score. hes a freshman right now.
