If you're looking for a one of a kind college experience that is different from the norm, I would highly recommend Sierra Nevada University. Nestled in Incline Village in the Northern Sierra Nevada's, it offers a plethora of outdoor activities and a vibrant college social life. From paddle boarding on majestic Lake Tahoe to skiing the slopes of Mt. Rose or backpacking the Tahoe Rim Trail, the amount of exploration and opportunities for discovery are seemingly endless. The amount of personal time that the teachers are willing to put into every student is awesome in every sense of the word. I still talk to and check in with professors that I no longer even have. Not because I have a question that I need answered, but simply because of good rapport. If you're looking for a college that truly cares about the success of their students and takes the time to develop one's passions and skills, then you've come to the right place!
Please read! Only go here if you ski/snowboard avidly and are in love with it, you can easily do that everyday with other kids who love it, and you're going to have a great time. If not, please please do something better: It's expensive, the food is barely edible(seriously, i've gone hungry a lot), many of the courses are such a waste of time you'll wonder how its allowed, the school is so small you’ll know everyone's name the first day, socializing happens once or twice a week, and you're really going to wish you went to a school that challenges and stimulates you.
If you're not passionate about snow sports, please take advantage of your college years by going to a school that's going to push you, socially and academically so you learn about your field and are set up for success.however If you are passionate about snow sports, you're going to have the time of your life regardless of how the school is because you'll be busy and theres nothing wrong with that if its your thing.

Overall, My online experience with Sierra Nevada University has been well. Given the circumstances and available resources, I feel that my professors have done an adequate job of adapting to this abrupt change within my educational institution and have taught/presented the curriculum in a way that is still greatly beneficial to the student.
