good enough for Mines, but I don't think I want to limit my choices by going to a somewhat specialty school like that. I'm not really cemented on those major/career choices, and the impression I've got from all the info I've gotten/looked for on Mines has me thinking I wouldn't have many options if I wanted to change majors.
my only regret is that CU doesn't have enough cock to go around

He also knows a ton of girls who dip....if you like hardcore man-chicks it might be your scene. He visits Boulder ALOT...
CU was fun.. and fuck all the haters that bash on eldora.. best $109 i've spent. free bus ride as well. don't get it as your only pass though.
oh, and if you goto boulder, stay for the summers. the town is 100x better when most of the students leave.
This is simple...I went to school in Burlington (SMC) and absolutely loved it. But I live in Denver now and I can't image how much better it would've been to go to school here. I'd look at the University of Utah too. The skiing is even better and much closer. Worrying about the Mormons is overrated. Salt Lake City is actually a pretty cool town if you know where to go.
One more thing... the sun does not shine for months in Burlington...trust me it's worse than what anybody else has stated thus far. It will rain at least once in January causing the ice. And at some point in the winter it will go 3 WEEKS without breaking ZERO DEGREES. I had a pair of Rossis that shattered like glass it was so cold. Am I a better person for living through it...maybe. I definitely am a better skier for skiing a 100+ days a year at Stowe Sugarbush and jay (aka the schools of hard knocks for skiers) Those 3 are by far the best skiing in the east but it's almost a different sport entirely out here. (Big Bowls, big lines, big air, way bigger parties, and powder snow)...I think that covers it.
I love VERMONT but once you come to Colorado you will not leave.

Also if the craters blows while your there you'll be one of the first dead in armegedon...which is nice.
They are really into fishing up there too if you're into that...
i'm currently a geography major at uvm and within the major i'm focusing on weather and climate. thus far, the program seems to be pretty good and i really like uvm as a school. while it isn't extremely specific to meteorology, you aren't forced into taking physics/chemistry classes if you don't want to because it is a bachelor of arts. i'm also not too worried about it not being extremely specific as i'm hoping to get my master's in atmospheric science at ubc if all goes to plan. one thing to keep in mind though is that i didn't originally intend to study geography here when i first applied, so the geo program isn't something that influenced my decision to go here.Quote:
