The University of Montana Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about The University of Montana? Why?

Emily

I wish they were able to offer more class times. As an athlete it is hard to coordinate my schedule so it does not conflict with practice times since few class times are offered for many required classes. Also I would like if they were stronger in the sciences. They are know for their drama and art schools. I would like to see research opportunities expanded. This isn't acaemically related, but I would also love to see an indoor track built. It is desperately needed since the winters are harsh and we have no protected facility to practice in.

Nothing

Hosanna

I hate that there is smoking allowed anywhere outside on campus. Of course, there isn't supposed to be within about 50 feet from the buildings but people smoke right outside of the doors. I really hate it.

Kelsey

The worst thing would be the few things to do in and around the area because it is a smaller town.

Shanice

The worst thing is probably some of the adjunct professors that are not very organized. They are frustrating because they don't always know how to be effective when they present the material. Another bad thing about my school is the constant construction. I am all for expanding and updating but this year (2009) got a little ridiculous.

Kaci

THe worst thing would be how long the winters are. Intend on buying winter boots and a snowy comute to campus.

Jayann

The inability to successfully guide or advise students about life after college. Sometimes as with the music and drama departments it seems like numbers are more important then students who really belong there. Not everyone will have a future as an opera singer or on a stage and that is not something really addressed in their education.

Antara

The winters get really icy.

Adelle

Sometimes in the spring, the amount of drum circles and slack-lining dreadheads gets really overwhelming. Also, many hippies attend this school which is not a bad thing in itself, but you might end up with total stoners in your class, which is ok when they are silent, but annoying when they go off on their trite life philosophies. Also, the University of Montana could do a better job with career internship and career placement opportunities.

Laura

Sometimes the professors were not hard enough on students. Also, some professors really just wanted to lecture and weren't interested in teaching us how to learn on our own.
