<human>: Hey /r/askreddit. I'm currently a Jersey resident looking to sell my house and relocate. Actually, it's very possible my house might be sold within the next month or two. 

I've lived in the Jersey suburbs my entire life. I'm currently 21 and would like to change things up. I have no family or other ties keeping me to an area nearby. I went to Rutgers for Comp sci, but have decided that it's not something I'd like to do long term and am going to go get a new degree. 

As I'd like to get a new degree, educational possibilities in a new town are important to me. I'd like to get into the medical field or medical law, so I feel a biology major is the best undergrad prep major that I can take. 

I live on a monthly trust fund of around 1500 dollars. After my house sells, I'll walk away with 45ishK. When I turn 25, I get another 40k. At 30, 75, and at 40, 100 something.  Because of my monthly stipend, cost of living in my respective new city is somewhat important (Especially since I'll be going to school). 

Outdoor possibilities are the only entertainment related concerns I have. I do not drink, nor do I smoke, or go to nightclubs or bars. I would like the area that I move to to have a decent dating scene, however. Perhaps with other outdoorsy people. 

Cycling, Kayaking, and hiking are quite important to me. Snowboarding/mountain climbing would be a plus. 

So basically... If you were looking to move to a cheap, outdoorsy place with a few universities in it where would you go? I'd really like to give the mid west a shot, as I think it would add some diverse experience to my life. 

The top 5 cities I've been looking at thus far-

Fort Collins/Loveland CO
Denver/Aurora CO
Salt Lake City, UT
Lincoln, NB
Austin, TX
