Walking down the sidewalk seeing faces of different color. That is called diversity.

I see a man with long blonde hair and baggy pants high fiving a petite school girl. The people are the beauty.

The availability of opportunities on campus that allow students to network, learn, and experience new things.

The University of Montana at Missoula is a wonderful choice for students who are looking for a diverse and open minded learning environment. Because the campus is relatively small, compared to larger cities with bigger universities, the student/professor ratio is one which allows every student access to their professor at almost any time for advice and assistance with their choices in class, or even in their college career. UM prides itself on its diversity statement that all people from all walks of life are treated as equals; this is not just a statement but a daily practice.

I think the best thing about the University of Montana is it's location. Campus is located in a smaller city (Missoula) where there are plenty of restaraunts, a mall, downtown filled with little shops, and plenty to keep a person busy without ever having to go far. For the more adventurous, there are mountains for hiking and participating in snowsports, a river that flows right through the city perfect for fishing or floating. Nearly any imagineable activity is right at your fingertips!

There are countless expeditions to truly amazing places and opportunties to study abroad in almost any location around the globe.

The Faculty are the best thing about our school here at the university of montana. The reason being, they are super helpful- whenever I need some information they are always there to give advice.

The University of Montana is a good school and not in Bozeman (my hometown) but it is not too far away. I have friends that attend there and I really like the surrounding area.

This school is so open to everyone of every background, and encourages self-expression in everything, whether its performing arts or business marketing.

The element that I enjoyed most about the University of Montana was the wonderful programs they offered.

The faculty and classes were all terrific and I felt prepared for student teaching. In addition to that, during my student teaching, I felt very supported by my academic advisor and with his guidance and strong mentorship, had a positive experience student teaching. The School of Education was only one of the many great programs offered at the University of Montana.

My favorite part of campus is the atmosphere. The river, the mountain, the town, the brick pathways and the fall leaves. All of that passes on into the classrooms, which aren't as intimidating or daunting because of comfortableness of the campus.

The best thing about my school is the sense of community built around it in the town of missoula as well as on campus.

We need to work together in a SERIOUS manner to see a new bright world.

The best part about the University of Montana is the sense of community. Here, as well as the rest of Montana, there is a small-town, friendly attitude. However, with a population of around 57,000, the town is large enough to accomodate the luxuries of city life too. The Clark Fork River runs through Missoula, and the city is surrounds by the Rocky Mountains, so for the more outdoorsy types, there are plenty of extracurricular activities. The professors at the school, in general, seem to care about how well their students learn, and always engage them in the discussion.

It is nice to wake up everyday to the beauty of the mountains surrounding the valley of the UM college. During the Fall the leaves change colors and all the trees are decorated in different strokes. The winter brings a christmas feel to it because it blankets the earth with snow and a mist often rises from the nearby river towards the college. For the most part the people here are friendly and the drivers are considerate. The football team is very successful and gives a chance to show good team spirit during games. Some professors are gifted researchers.

The University of Montana has superb professors. At most large universities one finds that the teaching faculty doesn't have time for the students, they focus on passing through the material. Professors here will stand outside the room and engage in casual conversations before class. It is not difficult to find help, all they ask is that the students come in during hours or during an agreed time. Professors also make teaching assistants available for assistance.

The accessibility of resources. Everything is incredibly easy to find and the population on campus is very friendly.
