If Montana State is an option, I would definitely consider U of Montana as well. We were up there just a few weeks ago, and it’s a lovely campus in a college town that’s big enough (~66k) to have pretty much anything you’d need but still feels college-y. Hard to imagine a more outdoors-oriented place to live - we saw deer feeding on a hillside across the street from an academic building. There’s a big ski resort just outside of town, and two others within reasonable driving distance. Academically, admission is very likely, and their Integrative Physiology major encompasses kinesiology and exercise science, seems like it might be a fit. They have auto-merit for OOS - OP would likely get 12-13k depending on final GPA, leaving a COA of 36-37k. Believe me, I tried to get D26 and D29 interested in UM just so I could go visit, but no success on that so far.
