<p>Thanks for the info, i’ll look into them both. Some of my top pick universities in the west/ish are U of Minnesota, U of Washington, Air Force Acedemy, Montana State and i also want to look into Michigan a little more. I know several of these are not rural, are not small colleges, and may be hard to play football for but the acedemics are my main concern. U of Minnesota to me seems a lot like U of Washington, but a little better for my intrests. Suprisingly it is just about as far as seattle is from my home town too. Any info on U of M? or any of the others i listed?</p>
