Hey, im looking to go to college.....duh. Ive never really tried in high school so my grades are sub par. I regret that completely now. Anyway, what are some east coast colleges in or within 2 hours from decent skiing public or private from a lower 80's student wit a 1050 on his sat's? Help is thanked the generous amount of karma
 
i don't know how difficult they are to get into academically, but...

UVM, champlain, st. mikes, are all in burlington VT area. Plenty of skiing around there.

UNH, keene (i think) and various others are in NH, farther from skiing but still within 2 hrs

and umass amherst, westfield university, wnec, and a whole heap of schools are in western mass, all within a few hours of decent skiing. Though to get to real good stuff its a bit longer.
 
Georgian College here in barrie is within 45 minutes of MSLM and blue mtn. also within 20 of horseshoe which is smaller but still dope.
 
champlain will be hard to get into, its a pretty good school. im lookin up in vermont at green mountain college and castleton. johnson state is real nice too
 
not positive but castleton and johnson shouldnt be to hard for you. im hopin i can get in as well. green mountain is wierd and the part of the school im lookin at is run through killington. champlain is a real nice school but probaly the hardest to get into out of everything that was listed
 
Keene (Is a Really nice school and near some mountains) Vermont State, Those are really the only two i can think of and at Vermont State they have a ski area management program so you get a seasons pass for like 100bucks
 
its an hour or less to stowe sugarbush smuggs bolton and not a few others

mt snow and okem are more of a haul from burlington, doable, but imo better as a weekend trip with all the others so close

also uvm has free buses to like all the nearby resorts
 
I'm at UDEL and it's no a major ski college, but I can still go right up to PA and ski. Most likely you'll never be without some sort of skiing.
 
Plymouth state would probably be your best bet. Its within 20 minutes of multiple sick mountains, and i dont think your grades have to be stellar. Its an offshoot of the New Hampshire state university system. UNH is the main one, it actually takes a certain amount of high school effort to get into, then there are keen and plymouth. both are still good, but kinda not on the same level. id say plymouth.
 
not RPI i live close to RPI and there is nothing good around it unless your talking about urban becasue there are some good ones but as far as mountains go no way
 
also, UMF should be pretty easy to get into. I graduated with like a 2.7 and got 1600 or 1700 on my SATs.
 
Georgian college Is 30 minutes away from mt St. Louis and for night skiing you have horseshoe, and Blue mountain(open day and night but if you have the chance louis during the day is your best bet). And the graduation rate is really high and the percentage of people who get a job after they graduate withing 8 months it like 90% which is ALOT. Georgian also has college and university courses. http://www.georgianc.on.ca/ that's the site.
 
This

and the ski pass deals are ridiculous, A Mount Ellen Sugarbush pass is $30 through Champlain, and there are other offers like 3 mountain passes for under 200

burlington kicks ass
 
I go to Green Mountain for the Resort Management Program which is the Killington based campus and program. Older student who graduates in the spring and I live off campus.

The main Green Mountain College campus is a wasteland devoid of sense and intelligence. The Resort Management program is pretty good. Expensive though. Jib-yard park out front during the winter, and lots of hands-on job experience and resume building. Good atmosphere with the people you will live with too at the Lodge. Tons of ski time too. Like I said though, it's very pricey, and the main campus retardedness gets very old, very quickly.

Message me if you have any questions on it specifically.
 
I thought you were done by now.

My brother went there, andy parry went there, and so did TWA on here (there are probably more as well.) my parents called it "a community college education for a regular college price." youre done in three years though, and work at killington every winter.

and to the op:

Univeristy of Maine Farmington for sugarloaf/saddleback

University of Vermont will be real hard for with your SAT score, but definitely apply

Green Mountain College for the reason skierx was saying

Keene State has a small mountain that is basically 100% park 10 minutes away

Plymouth State for loon

 
Final year for me.

Shit's definitely not for everyone. It's far from a typical college experience and as I've said, the main campus is a wasteland of trustifarians.

It works for me as I am older and did not have any use for a typical college experience. I needed something that got me a degree quick and gave me a lot of hands on experience that I can use to build a resume.

That said, the program needs less idealistic hippy classes and more realistic business classes.
 
its been said only once, and im really surprised BUT PLYMOUTH STATE UNIVERSITY! your 20 minutes from an INSANE amount of skiing, not just one mountain, but SEVERAL. seriously, ive visited 90% of the colleges listed in this thread and i wanted to make it known, that with the exception of UVM, PSU is the best ski college in the east. (thus the caps, i didnt want this post to meld into the plethora of others)
 
Castleton is really good for skiing. Killington is like 40 minutes away and they will give you a sick deal on a seasons pass (like 350$) and castleton has a student run park behind one of the dorms. Its a small school and pretty easy to get into. And the campus is pretty small and nice.
