The University of Montana Top Questions

The worst thing about the University of Montana is their lack of alumi scholarships for children of alumi. I have four family member's that have attended and graduated from the school before me and I do not recieve any sort of legacy or alumi award. It would have made my decision in coming here much easier if I had recieved some extra finacial aide.

No need to complain

I beleive the worst thing about the University of Montana is the Parking! The parking is very expensive, and scarce.

I just transfered to this school, so I am not sure. However, everyone i know that goes to this school absolutely love it!

I believe the worst thing about the University of Montana is the stereotype that everyone who attends is a hippie. Missoula is known to be very liberal and a large amount of people smoke marijuana. I myself do not aprove of marijuana or any other drug use, which can sometimes cause problems when trying to make new friends.

The worst thing about my school is how inaccessible it is from my hometown in Boise, Idaho. I do not have a car, and I find it difficult to find affordable ways to get back and forth from home to school, and vice versa, without having my parents take days off of work.

Being a college student, it's always nice to have an all-you-can-eat meal for under three dollars available every day of the week. However, the food in our cafeteria isn't always as tasty as one might hope. After a while, it all starts tasting the same - a kind of rubbery bland taste. And unfortunately, since it's a serve-yourself buffet set up, the food isn't always hot when you get it back to your table.

Honestly, The University of Montana was not my first choice. Considering the economy and the money situation however, I didn't really have the chioce. The worst thing about my school to me is the weather. To some people this might be the best part. Being in Montana it's a given that it would be cold. However some winter mornings are brutal. I really enjoy my school so I to me it is simply the weather that I dislike the most.

Well, honestly, I would say my least favorite part about school would be the cost, and lack of money that comes with it. College is the time of experimenting and experience., the lack of money make it somewhat hard to do some of the stuff you would like to do and/or achieve.

The worst thing about this school, or any school for that matter, is the prices on bookstore buybacks. For as much money as the schools get from tuition, as well as meals and other activities, it seems that the school should give the students a higher percentage to buy the books back.

The worst thing about the University of Montana would have to be the parking. There are not enough parking spaces for all of the students who attend classes on the campus. The parking passes provided by the University are pricey and are far from worth it. You have to be lucky in order to find a parking spot that is close to where you need to be and is a parking spot in which you are allowed to be. I wish the University would take parking into consideration in future years for the thousands of future students.

I can't think of one single thing I consider bad about my school. My time spent at school has been the best time of my life. However, if I had to pick one thing I would say the lack of student jobs available on campus. I have a part-time job off campus, but it would be much more convenient for me to be able to work on campus.

If you HATE the cold, long winters of Montana, don't come here!

I wish the University would provide more one on one time with their professors if the student needs more help.

Parking. We are charged too much to obtain a parking pass for too few spaces. Campus Security sells about 60-80 passes per spot on campus, which makes it hard to ever find a parking spot and get our money's worth.

Cost of attendance.

The inversion of smog that lingers above the valley in which Missoula sits. It can get very cold and very gloomy somedays.

There is little diversity, in the standard sense, so it is an unusual change if you are used to a diverse area.

Administration does not prioritize disability services as it should, the support office often runs out of space for test takers and is low on funds/staff for accomodations. Some teachers seem to be poor quality(grad students) who don't know what they are talking about. The older regular professors seem slighlty unenthusiastic and grumpy. The classes are too easy. Most of students are arrogant because they are liberal to the point where they do not accept people with different viewpoints. Even members of Christian groups have rampant selfish, cliques. The campus food is slightly overpriced with not enough variety.

winter weather, lack of availability of jobs in Missoula
