I have really enjoyed my experience at the University of Montana so far. I have been presented many different internship and volunteer opportunities within my major and outside of it. We have a wonderful campus with a historic feel and many long lasting traditions. Our athletics program is amazing, the energy students bring to every game is indescribable! You have never been to Montana if you have not experienced a game in the Washington Grizzly Stadium.
I would rate my university 5 stars, but a few things need improved. Campus food is not the best. There are many different options on campus, but the overall quality and pricing could be improved. We have many different options for housing on campus, but the housing facilities do need to be more modernized.
Overall, I have really enjoyed my experience here and would only improve a few minor things.

My experience has been pretty good so far! With coronavirus throwing everyone for a loop, I found having some classes in person and some online was unfair to the students, but I do not know that anything else would have been better. The university has some much-needed upgrades on the way such as a new dining hall which will make the experience much better for future students. The campus is in a great location and is small enough to walk across, but not too big to where you get lost, and have to ride a bike of drive everywhere.
The University has worked with me to correct changes to my student profile and the classes are challenging but insightful. I really feel like I understand things clearly, despite taking some difficult classes! They don't have much in terms of evening classes, but they do have online classes, so as a part-time student working full-time, it helped a lot to have that option if I needed it!
It is easy to find classes, and everyone in the staff is helpful!
