The University of Montana Top Questions

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
