You would love Ft.Collins, Co. University town. Voted best city of under 300,000 in the U.S. Beautiful, near mountains, not far from Denver. Colorado Springs was voted best city to live in with population over 300,000. Also has university, beautiful, one hr. south of Denver. see websites below, then do websearches on your own to learn more.. Best of luck to you.
you dont want ohio. in the high country of colorado it satys nice but very cold in the winter.Ohio, Colorado or Utah?
I live in OHIO, in a suburb of Cleveland about 30 minutes from Downtown but, close to many businesses and shopping. Ohio is seasonal probably not too far off from New Jersey.. We get all the seasons.. Fall, Spring, Winter and Summer and lately the Summers just seem hotter and hotter and we get pretty cold here in the winter.. I live off the lake which makes a HUGE difference- it even makes a difference if you live on EAST/WEST side of the city. EAST SIDE gets way more snow.. The SOUTH not quite as much and it's a bit warmer there in the winter.. Ohio
State (GO BUCKS) would be an obvious choice it's in Columbus%26lt;OHIO south of Cleveland for a great college but, it's in a city atmosphere and it's kinda a dump if you ask me ! Or you could go to CSU/Case Western and live in a surrounding suburb like Lakewood, Cleveland Hts or Mayfield. Bowling Green State University is very nice in Fremont Ohio. I went there for a few yrs.. it's in farm country so it's the other end of the spectrum and Toledo University is much like OSU big city atmosphere, kinda a dump once again. It's very, very flat in those areas so the wind in the winter cuts you like a knife ! I like living in Ohio but, if I had the choice I've heard Colorado is really very, very nice and GREAT if you are a single person ! Good luck with whatever you choose...
colorado!Ohio, Colorado or Utah?
Utah is not the place to go for "parties and stuff"
I think Fort Collins, Colorado, sounds like a great place. That sounds really fun.
Another thing to think about is that some state colleges offer in state tuition to out of staters and some state colleges are so expensive that you might as well be paying full tuition to Yale. (University of Michigan is an example!) State colleges don't offer as much financial aid as private colleges do so if you might get financial aid, consider private colleges too.
If you really want to go to a state college, here are two of the cheapest ones I know of for out of staters:
+ Eastern Oregon University with tuition around $6000 and room and board around $8000 (14,000 total per year), and
+ Southwest MN State Univ at (MN) with tuition around $6500 and room and board around $5500 (12,000 total per year).
They are in La Grande Oregon or Marshall Minnesota, pretty homey little towns - each a few hours from a big city. College towns can be a lot of fun. And the weather in Southern Minnesota or in Oregon will not be too different from the weather in New Jersey. (Northern Minnesota is too cold, though, I think. If you really like cold, consider Bemidji State, a great college in a beautiful area that that has very low prices (Iike SW MN State) but very cold weather.)
Colorado all the way
