I just got finished applying to colleges and i ultimately decided that the ones close to major climbing areas didnt meet my standards for academics. That might be different for you depending on your major but i think there has to be a tradeoff between studying and climbing anyway.

In reply to: Then count out NAU. Unless you think $750 for a studio in a cesspit of crime and depravity is a deal. I guess, depending on where you're from, it might be *shrug*

Colorado State University in Fort Collins is another good bet and it's less expensive than CU Boulder.

UCSD has excellent academics in many things and is close to a lot of good rock, not even to mention Josh and Idyllwild being <3 hrs away. It's in a great (tho $$$) location and the season for climbing can be all year. The weather is way more dependable too, which is important if you think you are going to be on a tight time budget. The student life there tho is very lame though compared to a more "thorough" college experience. I went to grad school there, and it is a sleepy and very nerdy campus. And the surf is very, very good...
