I enjoyed my first semester at Montana State. I lived at home off campus, so I can't speak for the dorm life style, but I can give my insight on MSU's teachers, campus, athletics, safety and such. I found MSU's teachers to be very helpful during this difficult time. They were very good about working out zoom meeting, taking phone calls, responding to emails in a timely fashion and offering in person help after class time. The campus is gorgeous! Lush trees, full duck pond, and clean, well kept sidewalks and grass areas. I've always felt safe on the MSU campus. Whether it is early in the morning or late at night there are campus police patrolling and keeping an eye out. And while athletics are sort of shut down, they were always a blast before covid. Overall any student would be lucky to be involved such a gorgeous and welcoming community and campus.
The academics have been excellent! The campus is beautiful and provides a lot of great resources for academics and athletics. Advisors have been extremely helpful in figuring out paths for majors. Great tutoring options around campus when needed. Professors have been very knowledgeable in all classes. Really great clubs and activities all throughout the year. Bozeman provides all the amenities of city life, yet still keeps somewhat of a small town feel.
Most of the courses were very good online. There were technical problems sometimes, but nothing that couldn't get fixed. Like all courses, they would have been better online, but for the situation everything has worked out better than expected!
