I absolutely love going to school here. The classes I have take have been fantastic, I really love being on a block schedule! I went from a 3.4 high school student to a 4.0 college student because of it. The campus is small, but that just makes it easier to get to classes and the cafeteria. The game room and the Bark and Bite are fun places to go hang out after class and I love the coffee shop. Campus is also pretty close to restaurant and not very far from the grocery store. The one thing I would ask to be changed is having more in person classes offered, but of course, that is all based off of staff availability. If you love small towns, you will love attending this school!
Montana Western is an okay university. Really the only good thing about Montana Western is the block schedule. Although the block schedule is not always a great things as it requires much outside work/studying. Dillon is a small town with not a whole lot to do. There is little to no diversity when it comes to race, religion, sexual orientation, or ethnicities. I have found Western to be a closed minded and mostly conservative campus. It has been hard to meet people with the same interests. Most students are in the horsemanship program or education program. Western does offer a solid Environmental Science program with the exception of some staff and classes. I love the location in Dillon (so pretty) but I really dislike the demographics of Dillon and Western.
The University of Montana Western has taken its time in developing a solid approach to online education. Between Zoom and their online format "Moodle" the university has been able to keep classes on track this semester!
