If you choose to go there though, you risk turning out like Mildbill. Careful. BeerPong.

ok. So there is one person....but I can list off 100 others who haven't stayed together.Originally Posted by UTdave
so - I'll put it this way then - staying together in college is very difficult. If that is what you want to do, then more power to you. But make sure that it is, 100%, the school you want to go to.
Seriously, this can’t turn into yet another ON3P thread....

Don't go straight to college from highschool. Travel, bum, get stoned, travel more. College will be there when you've pulled your head out of your ass and opened your eyes a bit. You'll learn a lot more with a little world under your belt.
Ahem. I guess I should toss away my skis and end the charade, eh?Originally Posted by bigtrubs
Sick and ashamed and happy (and, "lack of skiing" notwithstanding, I can think of plenty of reasons for a young American male to go to school in Montreal...),

Being on the east coast, I would live in VT over any other Northern New England State (aw shit I already do). And besides Maine, we have the best Mountains and Snow in the east. Not to mention the beautiful seasons (fall foliage), Sick mountain biking, and for all you stoners out there...some of the BEST and most affordable buds around.

Oh so just because you have "been to Vermont" makes you the expert huh? Go back to Canadia you damn kanuck (No offense to any other Canadians..I am hating on Bakers right now).Originally Posted by bakers_dozen
And the skiing in Toronto is so much better than Vermont! Were you a Hockley Valley regular?? Or Chicopee Ski Club with the amazing 200 feet of Vert and average snow fall of 59 inches. Yeah, skiing in Toronto is STELLAR!
Now if you were comparing Calgary to VT I would understand your position...You shouldn't hate on VT...it's a chill place to live and has good skiing for those of us who are not lucky enough to live out west!! And I don't hate Canadians as I stated before...just venting on Bakers.
And PS- what does living Toronto (ALL THE WAY OVER NEAR BUFFALO, NY) have anything thing to do with how well you know VT...To bad you never fell into Niagra Falls when you were in Toronto.
PS- I am a JONG so I expect some retaliation. Bring it on- I have thick skin...I think.

having been on the campuses of more large schools than most(ND,cinci,louisvilee,florida,unc,duke,oregon,o regon st.,texas,a+m,cal,stanford, u. wash., CU, etc.) and also liking skiing; i'd recommend
1. oregon, oregon st. -great campuses, beach+ski not far off, good college towns. i was more impressed by these 2 than ND or berkley.
2. u wash., colorado-boulder.-great campuses, ski not far off,good college towns.
in my opinion, your undergrad doesnt matter too much if you get good grades and have at least an average college in your major and they have a decent almuni connection/job placement/recruiting for their college.
what matters is what you do in grad. school or career once you get out.
TGR forums cannot handle SkiCougar !
Well, I just wrote you about an entire page outlining my visits to CU and UVM and gave a ton of feedback and told you how I made my decisions, but I hit some weird buttons and I deleted the entire thing before I posted it. I am WAY too lazy to retype it (it was a fucking masterpiece, too. a real shame....) so I'll give you a really quick response.
I got into UVM, CU, and the U of U (the only three I applied to). I chose the U (Honors Program), after visiting all three. In this order I like, the U, CU, and UVM, but it was DAMN close. Academically I was thinking I'd be making a sacrifice if I went to the U, but the Honors Program seems to be reallly strong, which is what sealed the deal for me(and the skiing, well, there is no comparison).
That being said, I was offered a full ride to Dartmouth, but they found out I didn't have a Range Rover and changed it to about a 50/50 scholarship. So I'm going to the U. Fuck em, right?
I agree that colleges suck. They suck a lot of money out of your wallet.
Then again if you think education is expensive try ignorance.
