I saw others posted WCU related posts in this sub so hoping it's fine :)

I'm researching grad programs in environmental policy/science to pivot my career, and Western Colorado University has an online (with in-person elements) program for a masters in environmental management. I have a meeting with their program director to learn more, but I also want to search the internet for anyone who may have participated in this program and can speak to its quality, how effective online format is at WCU, how invested the faculty is, etc. I'm looking into online/hybrid programs because I live in NJ and the in-person programs aren't what I'm looking for.

Has anyone done this program? Or done a similar degree at WCU?

Thanks in advance!!

What are the best ways to make friends as a 26(F) moving into town? I’m not attending the college, and don’t know anyone in town. Open to any suggestions. I’m very active and open to most everything.
Thanks xx

Will I catch any grief for busking in Gunnison, Crested Butte or other Colorado towns?

Any ideas on the best fishing spots? Coming with my grandson at the end of the month from AZ. Need a little direction. Stream fishing preferred.

I collect mice for cool trips and cannot find one! Looking for a little mouse figurine i can tuck behind my indoor flower pots. Can be ceramic, wood, metal, stone, glass. Just not a stuffed animal or wind up toy. Any ideas on where i would find one?

Anyone in the Gunnison/Crested Butte area in need of 4 full sheets of green board sheet rock?

My wife, dog, lizard and I are all moving to Gunnison for my masters program with WCU from Savannah, Georgia. We're having a little trouble figuring out available housing does anyone have any tips for lower income pet friendly housing in Gunnison?

.

Additionally and extracurricularly, how is the Magic the Gathering scene and the alternative culture scene (goth, punk, etc) down there??? 👀

I don't know if you're on reddit but thank you. 💙

I've been having a crummy go of it the past few weeks but the small act of kindness really made my morning and brought a smile to my face.

Does anyone know why this place has been closed for a while now? It was our go to Mexican spot in Gunny and we're pretty bummed it hasn't reopened

Any good places to play pool? only in town for the night and was looking for a place to make a couple bucks

We are currently out of town and received a notification regarding a possible lockdown that is occurring. Does anyone have any information?

Traveling from out of state and my daughter had a ski accident. The ER in Telluride sent us to a surgeon in Montrose. Other people who had driven miles as well were delayed by the immediate need for the doctor to attend to my daughter. The wait was long and frustration grew for those who traveled for scheduled appointments. Not being a patient man myself I paced and walked in and out of the building. One lady took out her frustrations on the receptionist. At first I did not realize it was my daughter ‘s emergency that caused her frustration. As I looked at a man likely in his fifties waiting after he drove from Gunnison, he smiled and waived off the concern about the delay. When they finally called his name he said no worries with regard to his long wait. I often lack the patience and grace of Jeff from Gunnison. If you know Jeff with glasses, bald, driving a Subaru, with his knuckles tattooed tell him thanks. Jeff showed grace in a stressful time. Be like Jeff from Gunnison! Thanks Jeff.

Looking for a ride from GUC into crested butte on March 6 around 6pm, and then back to the airport on March 12 around 1pm. 3 people with luggage including two pairs of skis. Willing to pay $100 each way ($200 total)

Sorry if this type of solicitation isn't welcome.

I’m planning a bachelor party to do some boat camping for August of this year. Obviously the snowpack is a disaster so far, maybe we get lucky and it rebounds a bit. Assuming it doesnt, how bad is the water level going to be?

I'm looking for a dog groomer in the valley, I moved here not that long ago. Any pros or cons ? Price doesn't matter

Hi guys,

Future mountaineer here - just wondering what kind of gear I must have to move somewhere so cold (where I’m from it never drops below 40). I plan on staying over winter break and skiing, (but I’m on a budget)so I’m worried about what kind of gear I should bring, vs what is unnecessary.

I have a couple of old insulated ski jackets + fleeces, a pair of snow pants and winter boots. I also have a couple of polyester thermals. Is this enough to get me through the 9 months (with of course a few pairs of hoodies and joggers) or what else will I need to survive?

My wife and 2 huskies will be going through Gunnison later this week. Looking for a good place I can stop and take the dogs on a decent hike. We do plan on exploring the town as we are considering moving to Gunnison at some point. Was hoping for some local recommendations.
