Default Are there any schools in Ft. Collins that study meteorology?

Im interested in weather and would like to know if any local colleges or schools have classes on studing weather forecasting.

Absolutely. Colorado State has a highly-regarded atmospheric science department. One of their emeritus professors, Dr. William Gray, is widely known for his yearly hurricane predictions.

While it may be true that Greeley has a higher rate of drug dealing than other cities, the fact of the matter is that every city has drug dealers...especially college towns.

Certainly go where you feel it best fits you. But my recommendation would be to look at both schools completely identifying both pros and cons for each and then make your decision...not just based on "what you heard about".

From what I know, Colorado State's department only has a Graduate School program in atmospheric science. They do, however, teach one undergrad level course without pre-requisites that is pretty good, but all other courses are geared towards graduate study and have extensive math and physics pre-requisites that you'd have to take first.

The University of Northern Colorado (Greeley) has an Earth Sciences degree with a meteorology emphasis. There are two classes and two seminars that do not have math and physics pre-requisites, and many more under-graduate courses that do have pre-requisites. I'd recommend you visit them. You may find the crime problem is not so bad as you fear. It certainly is not so bad that it is unsafe to visit UNC to find out !!!!

You could see if any community colleges like Front Range Community College offer weather classes as well.
