<p>is this weird or bad that i narrowed my college search to only schools in northeast because i miss the snow so much?</p>
<p>It also snows quite a bit in the Midwest and the Rockies.</p>
<p>No weirder or worse than the Californians who only apply to Californian schools because they fear the snow ;)</p>
<p>lmao do they really do that? </p>
<p>yea, i really wanted to go to college in Colorado, but none of the schools had all of my majors... :(
i think colorado is soooooooo beautiful!</p>
<p>What is it you want to major in? Are you telling me that Colorado College, Colorado State University and the University of Colorado-Boulder do not offer your majors? Are you planning on majoring in some really obscure field? And what are your grades/SATs like? It wouldn't make sense recommending schools in Colorado if we don't know your grades.</p>
<p>im actually looking at schools (which is a few i know) with all of my majors:
either journalism/photojournalism, pre-vet studies and pre-law</p>
<p>SAT is being taken in may and my GPA is around 3.3.</p>
<p>but i heard CO is also a crazy drinking state...</p>
<p>What about schools in Utah (maybe not BYU...)? The snow is better in Utah than anywhere in the Northeast since it is a drier climate, Utah is not a crazy drinking state, it is beautiful at any time of the year because of the diversity of its landscapes from north to south, and you would be just minutes from ski resorts if that is your thing. Plus, at least one school there is rated pretty high for law and med school.</p>
<p>ill look at schools in utah. but why about the drier climate? i have no clue what you're talking about...</p>
<p>(my mom and i drove across country and drove through colorado and utah)
The only places i really do not want to go to are Washington state, oregon, california, arizona, new mexico, texas, oaklahoma, nevada, not many southern states or midwest states. too many tornadoes for me!</p>
<p>It's not that weird, but just know that it only snows once a year in most of the Northeast.</p>
<p>i lived in the northeast for 16 years. once a year you mean winter-time?</p>
<p>No, I meant that it only snows for one or two days a year.</p>
<p>no it doesnt. im from pa and it snowed a lot...more than two days a year</p>
<p>I am not so sure that Colorado is a "crazy drinking state", but it is home to several major breweries. </p>
<p>This said, there are a couple of universities worth considering:</p>
<p>1) University of Colorado-Boulder. It has a very nice campus and is surrounded by a great college town. It also has a decent Journalism program. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.colorado.edu/journalism/%5B/url%5D">http://www.colorado.edu/journalism/</a></p>
<p>This said, pre-Vet and pre-Law aren't majors. Maybe that's why you haven't found many universities in Colorado (or any state) that offer your majors. Pre-Vets can pretty much major in anything as long as they take several required courses, such as Biology, Biochem, Chemistry etc... You obviously have to check what courses are required, but you can major in anything you like and it would be considered "pre-Vet" as long as your intent is to apply to Vet schools when you are done with college and as long as you have taken the 6 or 7 science courses required for consideration. </p>
<p>Pre-Law is even less defined. You can major in any subject and apply to Law school. Obviously, majors that require reading, writing, analytical thinking etc... are preferred. That includes Economics, English, Mathematics, Philosophy and Political Science.</p>
<p>2) Colorado State University. It has a relatively decent Journalism program (including several Photojournalist in its faculty) and one of the top 2 or 3 Vet schools in the nation. </p>

<p>Plus, you can major in plain Photography, part of the School of Art:</p>

<p>kk i will look into that! thanks for all your help and the websites! what if i major in something in communications? such as journalism? would that still work for pre-law?</p>
<p>Although I am sure a Journalism major would be considered, it is not a common concentration for pre-Law students. The most common majors are Economics, Political Science, English, Philosophy and Mathematics.</p>
<p>ok so if i did english for pre-law but changed to journalism, tht would be ok?</p>
<p>The climate in Utah is "high desert," which means low humidity. Hence, you won't feel as cold in the winter, nor as hot in the summer, and the snow is lighter and not as "wet" as in a more humid environment. The snow also doesn't freeze as much at night, so if you like skiing, and in particular, night skiing, it is better. It snows a lot in Northern Utah - sometimes up to a foot or more in one storm, even in SLC. (But be warned, this doesn't mean school will be out on those days - something drastic in addition to 2 feet of snow, like a power outage, has to occur for the city to shut down.) Anyway, just thought I would suggest it since you want someplace with snow.</p>
<p>Oh, I forgot - tornadoes have been known to rip through downtown SLC, but they are very rare. Good luck with your college search!</p>
<p>thanks a lot and thanks for all the info!</p>
