My school is best known for its variety of opportunities. It's unique in so many areas, especially in location and academics. It's one of the closest urban areas to a federally designated Wildereness (not 4 miles away) to also boasts a thriving music scene fed by being in a small town that just so happens to be a stop for performers on their way between Salt Lake or Denver to Seattle and Portland. Missoula also happens to collect Ivy League retirees and Nobel laureats who want a change of pace and add greatly to campus.

The mountains that surround it. Our journalism is one of the best and oldest in the country.

I think my school is best known for the scenic campus and the Montana Grizzly football team.

The diversity among students is expansive. Students are aware and respectful of their peers. The town of Missoula is also diverse itself. The campus sits in a canyon surrounded by mountains and is walking distance from downtown. The University of Montana's football team, the Grizzlies, has always been and still is a wonderful program. Students, alumni, and the community alike all enjoy catching a football game on the weekends in Washington-Grizzly Stadium. All in all, the University of Montana is known for its diversity. It has both diverse students and a diverse atmosphere.

My school is best known for its football team. The Montana Grizzlies football program is one of the best in the country. The atmosphere during a home Griz game is electrifying! One would have to be there to know the feeling. The fans are loud and crazy, and the tailgating is a big part of the experience. I would have to say that having lived through a lot of these games have made my time in college memorable and interesting. Anyone who has ever gone to these games would say the same thing about the Griz Nation.

I would say my school is best known for it's outstanding athletic department, and in the academics, it's sciences. The University of Montana has challenging, yet very rewarding science programs. From political science to chemistry, they are all great classes that will prepare you widely for your future or chosen profession. Although Missoula is a four-year public school I believe it is one of the most upstanding schools that challenges you and makes you work hard for a good grade which is why I chose the University of Montana.

Besides our amazing sports program, our school is known for its incredible theatre program and growing media arts program. The sciences and pre-medical programs are extremely commendable, and we also have a huge forestry program that is prospering. The University of Montana helps send out a gigantic work force into the Missoula Community. It helps economically and creates the advancement of creativity and social awareness. People from all over Montana recognize our school as the home of the “Griz,” and rightly so. We take much pride in our beloved football players. People come far and wide to our games.

It is known for how diverse and balanced it is here. There is a small town feel to the campus, but there are people here that come from various walks of life. Everyone is so friendly here as well.
Melissa
Academically, liberal arts and sciences are what the school is known for. It's also known for being good in football and has a great sports town.

The cultural diveristy found on campus and in all of Missoula. People are so much more liberal and accepting of other people than in other areas of the state. It provides a comfortable and safe environment to live and learn in.
