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!
I love it here! The campus is really really small and doesn't offer many late night study places. The coffee shops we have are exceptional, though they aren't open late at all. I also really love a lot of the faculty I've come to know, though it's always best to talk to your advisor about the teachers they might have known or classes they know have been well-liked. The classes are usually pretty small which is incredibly nurturing and makes it even easier to get to know teachers. The dorms are alright, there's just a lot of small and crappy dorms, so definitely do your research and assume it's smaller than the pictures. For girls, Turner is a great option-- though it's an all-girls dorm, it's a perfectly quiet and enjoyable environment. The best thing about Turner is the sinks in the rooms and the big showers as well. I lived in Aber for a while and switching to Turner made my quality of life much higher.
