Bozeman is an amazing community. Very diverse for a Montana town with many great, local restaurants and boutiques all along Main Street. With hiking trails 15 minutes from town and one of the best ski resorts 30 minutes away, it's very easy to find something to do. With a population of just under 50,000, it's easy to run into people you know and the community is both friendly and generous. The summer is filled with many local events from art walks, ladies' nights, and TONS of live music. If you haven't been to Bozeman, book your flight now!
I read the description of Bozeman and it is pretty well done, HOWEVER, Bozeman is far from conservative. Bozeman has a very progressive feel and attracts bright people who embrace and support environmental protection, diversity, community, education, taxes that go directly toward improving our living standards and so on. Montana State University is a healthy, growing hub of intellect, progress, diversity and opportunity that is an integral part of the fabric of the town. If you're looking to move to a western town that has the "Me Now" culture of a more conservative place, look elsewhere. If you're looking for a place where people believe in giving back to their community, accept diversity in all its forms and strongly support the environment, education and giving back for the greater good and for future generations, then Bozeman is right for you.
Bozeman is an amazing place to live in. There are countless outdoor activities you can participate in, such as skiing, rafting, hiking, rock climbing; the list could go on and on. There are tons of fun, hole-in-the-wall style places to dine at. I have not had a poor food experience here yet! I have always felt safe here in Bozeman; it has the friendly-neighborhood feel of a small town, but still has all of the fun things to do in a big town or city. Bozeman is also home to Montana State University, ranked #1 in Montana Colleges. I am proud to call this place my home!
