Montana State University

I am attracted to MSU because of the beautiful campus and the great nursing program that they have on campus. In addition, nursing students have the access to a near by hospital for volunteering and potential jobs.

I believe the campus is beautified and as lots of amazing sensory, the staff are incredible and the room to grow is amazing. they allow new adults to experience adult good without the pressure of being thrown into the real word. The town has plenty of activities to do and things you are able to do. The Bobcats have one of the best football teams and hockey teams in our division. I believe that this school offers an amazing environment.

It's a great school! I haven't been there to much, but I am planning on going. Everyone pone there is really nice and everyone is always willing to help out if you have any questions. I feel already like I'm a student due to everyone being so friendly around campus.

very nice campus and very kind people and professors. growing community mountains and mines beautiful place to call home for the next 4 years!

There are always new people to meet with diverse interests and outlets for those interests. You will never be bored with the hundreds of clubs and classes for every small hobby or activities for random small holidays. The faculty and staff are extremley accomodating and kind.

The area around Bozeman was beautiful and there was plenty to do but the people kinda sucked. Was definitely a party school and hard to find people who could actually hold a conversation about non-mundane things. Lots of partying on and off campus including in the dorms. Students were very judgmental and hard t make friends.

My overall opinion of Montana state University is its a great school and a great area to live in if you love snow and sunshine. There is just so much to do here its every day there is something different to do and the environment and teachers are amazing here I could not see myself going anywhere else for college.

MSU is set in a beautiful town surrounded by gorgeous mountains. The school offers great academics with personable professors. There are a variety of ways to get involved and find your own niche. However, with Montana being more so a rural northern state, it is easy to say that the diversity at MSU is lacking a bit.

Montana State University is a great university and campus to gain experience in the classroom and in life! The faculty comes for diverse cultural and work experience backgrounds making learning meaningful and exciting. During the events of COVID 19, MSU had the safety and health of the students at the forefront and did their best to make the transition from in class to online the best to their ability which speaks to their ethos of education and care for students.

Montana State is a very good school. I learned a lot and it was a very safe environment. It is in a small town so you better like the town and the people that live there. I did feel like the school caters more towards the engineering students more than other degrees, but I still learned a lot. Most of my classes were hard and I didn't think of any of my classes as easy A's. I learned a lot :)

Being at Montana State University I have seen that the main focus is a healthy balance between academics and the outdoors. The university values its overall prestige and works every year towards offering the newest and best resources for its students.

Five years ago, if I had been told I would be going to college in Bozeman, Montana I would have called you crazy. As an aspiring filmmaker, I would not have thought that Montana State University would be the university for me; surprisingly, MSU has a lot to offer to film students such as myself, and students in other disciplines. MSU is highly accredited for teaching future nurses, engineers, and agricultural workers. With such a wide variety of areas of study it is easy for students to connect with people outside of their own major. This allows for collaboration between disciplines in order to create amazing results. Our Natural Science and Film programs have worked together to develop the Master of Fine Arts program for Science and Natural History filmmaking--the only program of its kind in the world! This unique program brings together students of film, and of science to create compelling studies and documentaries. Even better, undergraduate students have access to help from grad students in the MFA program, allowing undergrads to further their education and build connections before earning their BA. This is only one example of the innovative programs that MSU has developed, and what I have experience studying here. Not only do MSU’s academics speak for themselves, but my experience with MSU’s ResLife has demonstrated a strong commitment to community building. As a Resident Advisor, I have worked hard to build a floor, and hall community that is engaged in more than academics alone. ResLife works hard to engage students out of a classroom setting. As an RA, I work my hardest to connect with students on a personal level in order to make them feel hear, and feel like they have a place in the community. Because all Freshman live on campus their first year, I find it important to build a community that residents feel excited to come home to. The Residents Halls also have Living Learning Communities, which are floors where likeminded people live together, allowing for easier collaboration, and development of community during their Freshman year. This allows students to find their interest, and people who have similar interests also. By creating well knit communities, my role as an RA has allowed my to engage my residents in the Bozeman community. This past month, my floor raised $150 for the Gallatin Valley Food Bank. Montana State’s ResLife does an excellent job of giving back to the community and give the Bobcats a positive reputation. Personally, this is part of why I believe MSU is an amazing university.

Montana State University is an overall slightly above average university they offer many courses, activities, and resources however they focus too much on making new residence halls and not enough on availability of parking and snow and ice conditions. There's definitely room for improvement on those topics. Other than that professors are pretty great and classes are interesting.

Huge lecture halls, blizzards, and centipedes. OH MY! Montana state university is simultaneously a truly wonderful and truly terrible school. First, the bad: the hall I live in, which shall remain anonymous (rhymes with Sappner) is overrun with centipedes; often it is nearly impossible to get to class because of the sub-zero temperatures, and truly horrifying amounts of snow; the lecture halls are crowded with people who will inevitably fail basic classes because the professors are so pompous that they cannot simply explain a formula without letting it become a treatise on their own genius. Now, the good: the snow, while unpleasant, creates a few beautiful and rare Blue bird Powder days during the year (its a skier thing); the dining halls are some of the best in the nation; despite all the weird hipsters in their juice bars, the people here are pretty great. The takeaway here is: as is MSU c'est la vie. There is good and bad but in the end you're left looking at that big blue sky fringed by snow-capped mountains, and I, at least, wouldn't change it for the world.

It’s a good school, but I feel that there isn’t enough financial aid opportunities for out of state students. It’s very hard to establish residency, as you lose your out of state scholarship, and you have to get a job and only do school part time. It’s not super easy. The residence halls are decent. We pay way too much for food that is so bad. The coffee shop is good though. There are not a lot of work-study jobs that pay enough to be worth the time. Teachers are amazing though. Which is important.
