Road biking has every bit as much of a rush as DH racing but if you mess up you're not only going to hurt yourself but potentially seriously injure the 20 guys behind you too. If you do give it a try make sure to keep yourself in check before you paralyze someone else.
1) If you're choosing your university based on the riding nearby, you're doing it wrong. Get your priorities straight and reconsider whether college is best for you if that's really how you're deciding.
