Just a fun loving place that really makes everyone feel welcomed and people that live there are the most kind and friendly people in the world

How small and beautiful the campus is. It has a hometown feel. Good biology department (my intended major is biology). Close to home (easy and inexpensive to travel).

Kaelee

The university of montana has endless amounts of classes to choose from and all of the teachers I have had so far seem genuinly excited to teach the class.

Shelby

I am currently in the HHP program. Within this program are several career opportunities that all work todether until our third year when they start to branch off into their own specific courses. It is very nice because if you decide to change majors you don't have to start over again.

Rachel

The best thing about the U of M is that you get a great education at a moderaly priced school. The professors are there to help you succeed and achieve your dreams.

Melisa

The quality of the classes offered is excellent. I also love the atmosphere and the interest most professors have in making their students feel welcome and successful. The campus is also veyr beautiful and is located in a city with great outdoor activities available year round. There are a lot of International students and the chance to study abroad through many programs. The Science Department has worked with NASA and other major research partnerships. We also have an excellent Native American Studies program. The Law School and Journalism Department are highly regarded nationally.

Desirae

The best thing about my school is the atmosphere. When going to U of M I could call it home. Finding the right college can be tough, but I could feel that I had found the right one. I am the kind of person that likes to roll out of bed and go to class and not worry about outer apperances. I am all about working hard and having fun. At U of M I found this easy to do. So what i like best at U of M is the people and the wonderful atmosphere that is created.

I enjoy the warm afternoon in the oval on the grass watching students play frisbee.

Suzanne

The school is so open to the arts. There are so many opportunities to discover talent, culture, music. Its amazing.

Alexsa

The very best thing about the University of Montana is easily the campus and its surroundings. There aren't many things that come close to competing with Montana's beautiful, sunny, yet not-too-hot summers and cold, snowy winters. Our campus is littered old brick buildings, surrounded with lush trees backdropped in all directions with the beautiful Rocky Mountains! Wildlife can be found often around and even on campus, and there is never a shortage of things to do. Be it snowboarding and skiing at the local Snowbowl, or hiking, swiming, camping, horseback riding, and biking!

Shy

The best thing about the University of Montana is its sense of community—and pride in that community. The entire campus rallies around its sports teams—the football games are almost like rock concerts. You always see at least one person you know on your way from class to class. Social functions and community service events are well advertised and occur every day. Communication between students and faculty is easy with the use of online supplements. Departments constantly recommend students to attend another department’s function. Everyone work toward the common goal of making sure everybody has a positive experience.

Julie

I think the best thing about The University of Montana is that there is rich cultural diversity here, in an unexpected part of the U.S. The university recently launched their Southwest and Central Asia Center, the first in any college in the U.S., and we have a vibrant exchange and study abroad program that has brought a lot of foreign students here. Our university has Arabic Language classes, which is unusual for most state schools, and I would love to see us get a major program in Arabic as well.

Amy

The atmosphere! I knew Montana was the right choice for me to make; but I had no idea that it would be like this! I've fallin in love with the people, location, and the beautiful colors that nature gives year round!

Sarah

The best thing about the University is the diverse environment both socially and cuturally.

Lauren

The best thing about The University of Montana is the the school pride and support for athletics. All social groups and people from the community get involved with athletics, especially football, which gives the campus and local community a feeling of being supported and cheered on. Whether you are a student, faculty member, or a local, it feels as if everyone comes together as a big family to support Grizzly athletics.

Jessie

I think the diverse student population and range of studies is the best thing about my school because it offers an interesting and fun learning and social environment.

Brandon

A very professional environment with an emphasis on excellence and achievement. It has all that is required to get a good education if you are willing to work hard and put forth the required amount of effort into you work. We are taught to think of this experience as if it were for a real job and that is a great motivator for many students, including myself. All students are encouraged to do their best and are not pushed too hard by the faculty or staff. Each student is given equal opportunities for success and the chance to succeed.

Shanna

The best part of my University is its location. The University of Montana rests in the beautiful Rocky Mountains in Missoula, MT. Missoula is a liberal city that is very community and recreationally oriented.

Mackenzie

I consider the beauty of the University of Montana campus the best part about it. I find the blend of old style brick buildings surrounded by lush environment great. The UM admistration does a very good job with the upkeep of making the campus look as good as it does by planting new trees, letting students express their artistic talents through statues and artwork, and many other things. I have seen the other campus's in montana and I think that Montana State the best rival but still comes up short to the beauty of the UM.
