My fondness for Missoula grows more the longer I am away-it's a great location.
The school itself paints a different picture. It depends on your major in regards to outlook and what resources are available to you. My program was bland and uninspiring (department building included), and didn't set me up at all for post-undergrad employment-still looking for a career path more than a year out.
As for non-academics, it was okay. There definitely could've been more going on on campus. I lived in Pantzer Hall and the Lewis and Clark villages-keep in mind that those are mainly for transfer/upperclassmen-people generally kept to themselves at both places. You could leave your room/apt, and not see a soul more often than not. They were nice and clean however, in contrast to some underclassmen dorms.
As with any college, if you make good friends-which you will-you'll have fun! I just urge you to do your research on your expected major, as that will make or break what you get out of UM.

The campus is amazing and everything is so beautiful! They provide plenty of services to ensure success such as: multiple areas of study, nourishment (even the caffeinated kind), activities to boost spirits, even campus transportation that goes all through town! Everyone is extremely helpful even when simply asking for directions on this big campus. Teachers make sure they are available for any extra assistance needed, even providing tutoring options and their personal help during office hours! This campus is amazing!
Due to the coronavirus, universities across the nation, including the University of Montana, had to move classes online. While online classes are better than no classes, I struggle learning from a computer and therefore enjoy attending class physically much more. However, the University's transition to online learning was as smooth as possible. The staff and faculty did a wonderful job adjusting to the circumstances and put forth their best efforts despite the challenges. The tenacity of the staff and faculty gave the students, including myself, a much better opportunity to learn and succeed than if classes were to be cancelled.
