The University of Montana Top Questions

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
