<p>momofthreeboys- so glad to read that you have engineers who speak about “the work load” ad nauseum, because it’s so sad, tragic almost when students don’t have that perspective. </p>
<p>Utah- attended Utah State University after Bucknell, for post graduate work, and actually had a “ski” class - at nearby “Bear Mountain”. </p>
<p>Salt Lake City- lived in SLC for short time after graduation, skiers heaven for sure, not sure of social climate for non-mormon, for the skier- amazing. </p>
<p>Montana- lived in Missoula, and ski resort near Flathead lake or Bridger Bowl in Butte probably the closest, and not within 30 minute drive., but it’s a wonderful place. </p>
<p>Will your “engineering major” be playing any of those "helmet’ sports in college, and if so, isn’t that a factor ? Right team, right coach?</p>
