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.
