<p>Hi, I am beginning to look at colleges and I have decided that an extremely important factor is location.
Does anyone know of decent colleges (ie avg 1750 SAT and 3.7ish gpa) near skiing? I am more than likely restricted to the North East area....anywhere from MD to NY...maybe Vermont... Thanks</p>
<p>What are you interested in majoring in and in which state do you live?</p>
<p>UVM comes to mind, as does St. Michael’s and Champlain colleges. Maybe consider some NH and upstate NY schools, too, such as Syracuse. </p>
<p>But if you love to ski , you should really look at CU Boulder, too. There’s a ski area about 20 some-odd miles out of town. (I live in the Boulder area, so I know it well.) </p>
<p>Another school out west near skiing is Northern Arizona University. I believe the OOS tuition is quite reasonable. And the Snowbowl is about 7 miles north of Flagstaff.</p>
<p>University of Colorado would be an obvious choice, and a great place to go to school, albeit, not in the Northeast.</p>
<p>Colorado College</p>
<p>Also SUNY Cortland and St. Anselms College (NH). Best of luck!</p>
<p>Most don’t think of coming south to ski but consider Appalachian State University in NC.
They get lots of snow and there are a lot of ski slopes nearby. Out of state tuition is reasonable compared to many other states. [Appalachian</a> State University :: Boone, North Carolina](<a href=“http://www.appstate.edu%5DAppalachian”>http://www.appstate.edu)</p>
<p>Obviously, SUNY Plattsburg… Whiteface, home of the Olympics</p>
<p>UVT, Burlington in the middle of every ski area</p>
<p>Middlebury is close to Fayston for MRG, Yeah… but its too much of a reach for you.</p>
<p>Hi thanks! I hope to major in history or english or international relations… I live in MD… I have family in upstate NY and southern CA, I hope to find a college relatively close to some family…so northeastern schools and (maybe, depending on price, some CA schools) are possibilities.</p>
<p>simple, find a resort you like, find the town and search google using the town’s name and the word “college”. There are a lot of schools near mountain high in LA, but I am not sure if you want to be there. I am sure there is nothing worthwhile near Mammoth.</p>
<p>Try Middlebury, good history, english and IR and you can skiing MRG all season. :)</p>
