So I am looking to go to grad school for engineering out in Tahoe. Are there any good schools out there that are close to Squaw, Lake Tahoe, and good mountain biking trails, and have a good engineering program? Thanks for your help.

Reno is probably the only thing close, but have no idea how good the school is or what they offer. A couple cats on her go there or went there though.

Otherwise idk. Would probably not want to be in the 80 clusterfuck trying to come up from farther west on the weekends. Especially to squaw.

reno is definitely your best bet and has good access to the basin, either via 80 or over mt rose highway. i would say that the mountain biking is underrated but there are so many great trails in reno, carson, truckee, and all throughout the basin. definitely can't go wrong.

Reno is pretty tight, close access to the mountains & everything you need is right in town. Would recommend
