“will your son be applying to the University of Wyoming??”
Nope. He did not like the idea of living there, and I don’t blame him. And he’s not that interested in the whole frat/football thing, which is a big deal on that campus.
Univ of Wyoming does have a few things going for it, including a decent engineering program and much more reasonable tuition for out of state students (especially if they have decent HS grades and test scores) than do Colorado, Washington and Oregon (“state” or “university” in each case).
We did not visit the campus, but I understand that University of Utah (SLC) has more reason out of state tuition, but he says he wants to stay in California. Extra OT, but apparently BYU charges double tuition if you are not Mormon. Why would you want to go to BYU is you are not Mormon?
Maybe I wasn’t paying enough attention to the scenery, but there seemed to be plenty of open space outside of Ft Collins to the North/West. Most of the housing sprawl is to the south along the front range going to Loveland or to the east going to Nebraska.
