The university is very accommodating for residents that don't live near the campus. The ability to do majority of your studies online makes being a parent, full time worker, and student much less hectic.
I have ran into a few instances where communication is lacking between the school and the student though. It's always after a deadline of some sort that business services will reach out instead of proactively sending out the deadline or expectations. It is not intuitive where to find all of the information you may need and the communication between administrative staff and students has been less than perfect so far.

Montana Western is a very accepting college with great professors and an even better campus life. The professors are open mind and understand the students. With classes only being three and a half weeks, you truly have to stay up with the school work. However, the professors are kind, and some are even willing to work with you if you do happen to fall behind academically. The college has many clubs and activities going on every week, so it's never dull. There is always something to do, and there is always someone new to get to know. With small classes, you will learn who people are in your major fast, and you will see them often as you will most likely share many courses with them. The college is excellent, and the staff is always working. They are also friendly so don't be afraid to talk to them when you see them.
So far it's been a really great experience. The Block system is a brilliant way to set up a school, and the people are very nice. The horsemanship program is amazing, and I love the opportunity to learn and work with my horse in a way that I would never be able to without The University of Montana Western. I love being able to be close enough to home that I can visit often, but still have my separate life at school. The food is pretty good. There's always tons of options for things to eat, even if you don't like the main meal. The prices are pretty reasonable for a university, so it makes me feel like I'll actually be able to pay for collage and make this all worth it.
