Got into Dartmouth ED, so looks like I'll be headed to Hanover next year.

I'd love to see if any other NS'ers will be '20s there next year or any that already attend, because half the reason I applied was for the ski culture (I've wanted to go there since I was about 11). I already have a few buddies there, but it never hurts to find some new ones, especially those who ski.

Got into NYU and Oxford College of Emory yesterday. Now I'm trying to figure out if I should go to one of those two or the University of Denver.

Live it up guys, high school is the prime of your life, its all downhill from there

I've heard this several times and I can't disagree with it more. That's just a terrible way of thinking, man. Life doesn't automatically suck the day you graduate from high school.

More kids need to do what they love instead of getting sucked into shitty office jobs that take 6 years of college to get hired. Yes, high school is nice because parents pay for food and housing, but proper planning can lead to one hell of a life. There is no need to go to fucking ivy league schools when kids have $20 in their bank accounts. I don't see the need to get a really nice job, get locked in the golden handcuffs, and say "I'll go skiing in five years".

I'm not even planning on going to college until I discover a job that involves something that I like doing. I might do some firefighting in the summers and ski bum in the winters. High school is only the prime of life for people who weren't prepared.

If high school is the prime of my life, I should just end it right now, why keep living?

lol to each his own I guess
 
Just got accepted into University of Alberta for forestry, I wanted to go to University of British Columbia but couldn't afford it cost wise...

There's a small hill near the uni but Idk how good the park is there but I'm hoping to snag a job there for free riding.

Yeah!!!!!! So stoked to have some fellow nsers in my class!
 
I'm going to Bowdoin in Maine, applied ED2. Pretty stoked, though both Sunday and Sugarloaf are 2+ hours away. I applied to mostly other liberal arts schools in the NESCAC, big ups to deforestation, Midd was my #2
 
-CU

-CU,CSU, and University of Utah

-Business

Hitting CU next year applied for baker hall and cheyenne arapaho
 
So for me it's going to come down to the following schools:

Binghamton (would go there for room and board only based on the STEM program-the cheapest option I have)

RPI (got a lot of scholarship $-would be doable-would be making a lot of $ right out of college)

Boston University (also got a lot of scholarship $-right in Boston-great location)

Notre Dame (it's Notre Dame...)

Any thoughts/experiences would be great. Leaning heavily towards Boston.
 
going to boulder next year, applied to Baker, farrend and libby hall got into libby will try and transfer to baker.

Let's see who's the hottest prom couple this year. Everybody post pics and I'll send something special to who's pic has the most up votes.
 
I'm trying to decide between going to CU Boulder and going to UBC in Vancouver. I got into a few others, waitlisted a couple and denied from a few, but these are my current favorite picks. Any input on my decision? Any NSers planning to attend or already going?

I'd rather go to UBC. CU Boulder isn't all that great for skiing from what I hear, but if you go there I can hook you up with my girlfriends sisters digits. She's going down there to play soccer.

College isn't all skiing. Boulder is lit, amazing campus, and I think their academics in some fields are underrated. Great overall school

I toured there, stayed with a friend, and loved it. I got into the honors program and got a lot of scholarship money luckily so the prices between UBC and CU are pretty comparable. I definitely love the campus, the social scene and found the academics to be quite good, but I think the academics at UBC may be a little better in the field I'm going into. I'm looking at studying International Relations/Poli Sci for what it's worth. Any further input would be great, I'm looking to decide sooner than later this week.

This is completely wrong. I had an awesome time in high school, don't get me wrong, but college is seriously so much better. You get exposed to so many more people and so many more opportunities to do fun shit. At least that's how it's been for me..
 
Is anybody going to be in Boston, I'm choosing between two schools and one of them is great for skiing and the other is in Boston --- so worried that there won't be a ski culture there or people who will wanna make trips as much as I'll want to

My good friend decided on CU today! He choose it over UMD, and he got into UMD's business school which is one of the best in the nation. If you got money from Boulder, that is where I'd go if I were you. Maybe talk to your high school's college counselor
 
Got accepted with a top tier scholarship into Sierra Nevada College in Tahoe

I'll be going for a bachelor in Ski business and resort management

If anyone is going there hit me up!

You should be fine. Northeastern, BU, BC, etc. all have ski clubs, and there is a large number of post-grads in the area who ski as well.

I live right next to Boston College and get up skiing a good 40-50 days a year at Loon and Sunday River. There are definitely lots of skiers around the area, maybe not as much as other places or schools, but you definitely can get a lot of skiing in around this area.

I decided on University of British Columbia yesterday, pretty excited to be heading west soon, one more month of high school and I'm done. If anyone is going as well or you guys know any skiers there, let me know, it would be dope to go into school knowing at least a couple kids.

Congrats on BC that's so so exciting! Thanks so much tho that's def good to hear haha are trips to loon and sunday river a lot to do in a day without a place to stay over? what's your experience skiing closers places like nashoba also?

Loon is a solid 2.5 hours, Sunday River is a bit longer. You can do day trips, but they're LONG days and hard on your wallet(lots of gas). Some schools have ski clubs that rent houses for the season, but you will also meet people who have houses at ski areas as well.

For close skiing, you have Nashoba (No-Snowba), Wachusetts (meh), Jimney Peak, Ski Bradford, and Blue Hills. Jimney and Wachusetts are your biggest, the other three are tiny. TBH, it all depends on the snow year.

Thank you for the congratulations, I'm so excited to be studying out in Vancouver, BC and skiing Whistler. As far as skiing near Boston, trips to Loon are definitely doable in a day. It's 2 and half hours most days, sometimes less, Sunday River is 3 and half but you get to ski there on the same pass as Loon. Further than that there's Sugarloaf which is 4 hours about on that same season pass. There's other good skiing other places check my thread here:https://www.newschoolers.com/forum/thread/704329/Best-ski-resort-in-New-England- There is also a Ski dorm thing at Sunday River and probably other mountains that is cheap lodging for young college age kids. It's a good deal for college students to get that pass and potentially use that lodging or go during college week for discounts. Nashoba sometimes has a solid park set up, but isn't any real skiing. Nashoba is about 40 minutes away and cheaper by a lot. Would be a good place to go for night skiing during the week or something if you don't want to drive far. I have lots of friends in college in the area and that's most of what I know about skiing from my experience here.
