The University of Montana Top Questions

The only thing that comes to mind, is the fact that we put so much emphasis on our football team. I believe other students, including myself, wish that more money would be put towards other departments besides the athletic one. We have a great team, but that's not everything at the University of Montana.

I believe the worst thing about my school is the availability of parking to the students. On many occasions I was forced to drive around the campus looking for an available parking spot and having no luck. I feel strongly about the fact that the University of Montana needs more parking. I believe that many of the students would agree with me on this subject and would like to see either more parking areas, or a new parking garage built on campus. The lack of parking I believe is the worst thing about my school.

I would say the worst thing about my school is the location. During the winter it gets so cold and icy you definitely have to be careful when walking to class. However, it is a minor problem because the school does an excellent job with trying to keep the sidewalks bare. Although, some improvement could be done with keeping them drier when the snow melts.

The school does not have enough money to do some of the environmentally friendly restructuring that they wish to do.

The worst thing about the University of Montana would have to be all the small charges they make to your account. Even though they are small, they add up quickly. I am sure every other college is the same, but it is frustrating to have to pay for things that I do not use. For example, I never use the public transportation system and the college requires me to buy a pass. My school is very eco friendly and I understand their thought process, but it would be nice to decide which things I would like to pay.

The thing I consider the worst thing about my school is affordable and available off-campus housing options. Because the cost of living is high, and wages are relatively low, finding a decent affordable place to live is extremely frustrating and difficult for a married unemployed student such as myself.

I believe that the school is undermaned in terms of on campus security at night and this is the worst part. The lighting along the walkways is dull, leaving many shadows for people to hide. Also, it is a rather large campus with building spaced far apart. There is only one security guard that patrols at night on bicycle. I would like to see brighter lights and a larger amount of active security patrolling during night time hours.

There is a lot of diversity, however, sometimes the most diverse people are the least educated yet have the loudest voice on campus. That gets fairly bothersome. Also, parking sucks.

Well since my major is Pre-Med, I wish my school had a more developed program for students in my major. However, it is continuing to improve every year.

I dislike that it feels isolated at times.

The worst thing at this school would have to be the heat or lack of heat in the buildings and class rooms.

The worst thing about the school is that it's a big, small university. Some of the features that make a small college great are there, but many of the bureaucracies and red tape situations of a larger university are there, without the additional features that make a large university cohesive, such as newer software for student/teacher interaction. The university has in place legacy course software called Blackboard at at time when software upgrades are becoming less and less expensive.

Very laid back, I feel as if it might be too easy to get into.

The administrative offices are the most difficult to deal with because there is often a long wait time to speak to them either in person or on the phone and students are often difected to other work study students who are not sufficiently trained sufficiently enough to give informative advise.

The worst thing about my school is transfer equilancy. I transferred from another in state college and ended up having to take many classes over that I was assured would transfer.

Financial aid is a nightmare. It was created to help prosperous students pay for an education that would secure their future, however; the application process is a never-ending phone call to someone who was referred by someone who in return refers me to another. How can something that is supposed to help you gain a higher level of education be so hard to acquire? Education secures everyone's future. The University of Montana needs to fix this mess and aid prospective students to relax knowing their future is secured.

The worst thing about The University of Montana is the trying to find a parking spot. Even if you have bought a parking permit, at times it is near impossible to find a spot. At certain times of the day it can be easier to find. That is one of the worst parts about a lot of college campuses though. Its not surprising. Sometimes you might just have to sacrifice and get a parking ticket one or two times. In the end though, you will be okay!

I always wish the winter passed by quicker because it is so cold but at the same time love to ski so the snow and mountains are a huge plus.

The worst thing about the University of Montana is the fact that alot of the faculty does not understand that alot of the students are not sure how they are going to pay for college and that it is stressful enough to be having those problems. Some of the staff are rude and not very helpful when it comes to ways to help you try and pay for college.

I would have to say that the worst thing about the U of M is the availability of classes. We topped over 15,000 students this year, yet it seems as if the number of classes keeps dropping. If I wasn't a senior status, I would have a hard time registering for the classes I need.
