The opportunities for my major. Being a Wildlife Biology major, the school has alot to offer as well as being very helpful. Internship opportunities from all over the country are posted on the website, and the teachers are very helpful with questions and guidance. The classes provide heaps of information, the shcool even owns part of a forest that we have the opportunity to learn in. There are also very unique classes that focus in on careers that I would love to do, like Wildlife Handling.

The scenery and possibilites are amazing here. The weather can be harsh, but still there's no other place like this one - especially in the spring.

I definatly brag about the amazing friends aI've made since I moved to Montana to attend the University of Montana. I can never walk to class without seeing someone I know. The people here are so accepting and outgoing, and I haven't met a single person yet that I don't like. I also brag about the extremely stong and professional Journalism School. The classes offered are far more extensive then I could have ever imagined. I'm confident that when I graduate, I'll have gotten and education AND real experience.

Riley

I have been given so many chances to become the best teacher that I can be. The education program keeps me in the elementary schools as much as possible. I have been given time to learn in my field long before my final semester in college.

Grace

Campus is beautiful and very enviormentally friendly. Wilderness is just 15 minutes out your door so the oppertunties for outdoor receration is innumerable . Missoula is a lovely city that is enviornmentally conscious as well as very supportive to all its students. Transportation is well organized. The people, on and off campus, tend to be really friendly and helpful. Most professors will bend over backwards to help you and campus tech is always working to produce the best technology for its staff and students. There is almost always something going on somewhere on campus; from lectures to music to sports.

Regina

When I brag about my school, The University of Montana I begin with stating that I am a dance major. I am going to graduate with a BFA, and do what I love as a career. How many people do you know that get to do what they love for a job every single day of their life? I then come to say that attending this school provides a city environment, and the great outdoors in just a few miles; the best of both worlds. Also, this is where I have to come to meet some of my best friends.

Our campus is awsome with all sorts of outdoor activities. All of my instructors are great, very knowledgeable and open for questions. The biggest things is ITS MONTANA with mountains all around. I Love going to school here.

I brag to others about my schools beautiful tree-covered campus, friendly town, and surrounding countryside. Not to mention clean and crisp mountain air free of charge! ;)

William

I brag about the fact that the University of Montana allows people to experience many things that other schools and communities would not be able to offer Since Montana has such diversity in geological features, many activities that people are invited to allow them to explore the landscapes of the state, letting them learn about their environment, and ultimately making them appreciate the value of the earth on which all people live. In addition, it is considered to be at the heartbeat of all communities in Montana, and because of that, people will find every type of person here.

Shy

When talking about college, I most often discuss how the students are integral to the success of various programs. There is no separation between the classroom and hands-on experiences—which provides many opportunities for students. I am only a sophomore, but I am part of a team that is building and taking a massive design exhibit to take to Prague this summer. I have also been involved in building the sets for dramatic performances, and working backstage on those same performances. Instead of learning in a classroom, the University of Montana uses a successful hands-on approach.

Billie

I have great proffessors.

Lindsey

I love the surrounding area, people and overall atmosphere associated with the school. The community is absolutely wonderful. Friendly, helpful and generous people fill the streets. It's very environmentally friendly and the professors are 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} here to help and ensure the best outcome for the students.

The campus at the University of Montana isn't loud or constantly under construction like many campuses, yet it is bustling with activity. There is an art museum across the bridge, an authentic Thai restaurant eighteen blocks away in Missoula's downtown, and a mountain to hike behind the campus bookstore. The community offers you the adventures and experiences you wanted to gain when you left home for college without sacrificing the comfort. Missoula, MT is a beautiful place where you can explore who you are and who you want to be among a friendly and diverse community of people.

Erica

I believe The U of M has a friendly campus with a lot of opportunity to make friends. I enjoy Missoula because of the culture and open attitude which reflects the campus as well. The U has a center field called the oval that is kept very green and is a perfect place to kick a soccer ball around, study, or take a nap. Located just across the campus is a mountain that has a 20 minute or less climb which is great inbetween classes to blow off steam and to get some exercise.

Sarina

The campus is beautiful and the people on campus are great. The town of Missoula has a lot to offer as far as entertainment and recreation. The river is a wonderful feature of the town. I have made really good friends here and I have done a lot of work that I am very proud of.
