SNOWBOARDING TAHOE SIERRA
Is this college a good college for snowboarding and for academics?
I loooooooooooove Sierra Nevada College near lake tahoe in Nevada. The only problem is that my parents don’t think that it is a good school. Does anyone know whether this is a good college or not? Thanks!!
For snowboarding yes, for academics NO.
If you want to learn how to manage a resort, then yes, because thats the only program this place has that others dont. Other than that every employer will see this college as en excuse to go snowboarding while getting a degree.
If you just want to shoot the s h i t and get a useless college degree like liberal arts which will not help you at all in life and waste your parents money, then go for this college.
But if you plan on being anything other than a ski bum, then you should probably look somewhere else to a real school. This school is more for ppl that want to snowboard all the time and take a few classes here and there to say that they went to college. Other than the resort program, its a joke. You are better of going to university of phoenix.

In response to the first reply, I beg to differ.
As a graduate of SNC, I take extreme offense to what you’ve said, and I know a number of other graduates would as well. Granted, SNC does have a lot of skiers and snowboarders, but were you aware that the ski team has been the national champions for the last twenty years and has had Olympians in the program? The snowboard team has also won the national title the last 5 years in a row, and team members ride for companies like Forum, Oakley, Smith, Scott, and Flow, some of which have even been hired on at these companies after graduation.
In case you’ve been living under a rock, or just really don’t like to research and verify the words that leave your mouth, SNC is killing it. The marketing professor just retired as the Chief Marketing Officer of Kodak, have you heard of that company? The head of the business department is the retired VP of AT&T in California, but nobody really buys their products anyways…. The humanities professors have published over 15 books in the last 10 years. A New York Times Bestseller and Pulitzer Prize Winner will be teaching in the fall.
Additionally, students are beginning to transfer from places like UNR, Cal Poly, SF State, Sac State, and others. I’ve heard those places are pretty tough in comparison to our ’shit-shooting snowboard college’. I myself tripled majored with a 3.8, worked for a 50 member investment group, and also won $10,000 in a business plan competition (and beat out students from UNR and UNLV). Also 2 other students won $20,000 each in the same competion (both of which now work at international capital and technology firms). I guess you could say the school is pretty busy for just having a bunch of ski bums.
Check your facts before you run your mouth.
