Montana State University Reviews
Rating 3.67 out of 5 2,415 reviews
During my time at Montana State University, I joined the Outdoor Adventure Club. One weekend, we organized a hiking trip to Glacier National Park. The breathtaking views, fresh mountain air, and the camaraderie among fellow students made it an unforgettable experience. We laughed, shared stories, and challenged ourselves to reach the summit. It was a perfect blend of adventure and friendship, reminding me of the incredible opportunities MSU offers for personal growth and creating lifelong memories. As we stood atop the summit, surrounded by majestic peaks and vast landscapes, a sense of accomplishment filled our hearts. Montana State University truly fosters a spirit of exploration and community, allowing students to discover their passions while forging lasting connections. It was a transformative experience that reaffirmed my love for adventure and the natural wonders that surround us. I am grateful for the memories and the personal growth I experienced during my time at MSU.
Montana State University is an amazing college! Although there is a lot of students there, it is hard to tell due to the surrounding areas being so spread out. The professors are brilliant, helpful, lenient and very understanding. The staff is so nice, understanding and very helpful. I happen to really enjoy going to school there! However, I have to admit that the school is larger than I realized at first so you need to make sure that, if you are new to the scene, you bring a map to find your way around.
I plan on attending Montana State University in the Fall of 2023 as a freshman. I am impressed with the communication Montana State has had with me about important dates and deadlines. My visit to the campus was awesome, even though it was dumping snow. The programs the university offers are impressive and they can be extended into other areas of study so that you are able to broaden your degree into other fields as well as the one you are working towards. Even though the university is quite large, it seems like everyone is included into something and their are so many extra curricular activities offered beside the main sports. I am interested in playing volleyball, however the main volleyball team is above my skill level; but their is a club volleyball team associated with the school that I am going to try out for. The area is mountainous and the outdoors are right in your back yard. Costs for out -of- state is a bit steep but with a payment plan I hope to be able to afford it.
