Montana State University Students Tell It Like It Is
Similar to so many other students, it was the environment around Bozeman and MSU that kept the school in the back of my mind. Students who go to school here are not just in it for the education; they want to learn through more than just classrooms. They want to continually expand their interests to include nature, exercise, literature, and science. With this attitude, the school is able to foster friendships with all types of people and maintain a very open learning environment.

To find the lowdown on campus life, check out what current students are saying about their school:
'The teachers at MSU are top-notch. Bozeman is an attractive place to live, so it attracts some of the best professors in the country. My classes are interesting, and I was excited to return to class after an exciting summer break.'
'Bozeman is a very relaxed outdoors-oriented town. There are no other universities. There are lots of places
to visit nearby, to name a few: Yellowstone National Park, ski areas (Big Sky, Moonlight, and Bridger), and mountains (my favorites are the Beartooths, but there are also many others).'
'The guys here are outdoorsy and active?very fun. The ratio is in the favor of the girls, and for the most part, the guys are quite attractive.'
'There are a lot of really deep, intelligent, involved girls, but then there is a handful of airheads, too. All in all, they're all pretty dang good-looking, though.'
'There is always a party to go to or bands playing at the local bars. Some popular bars include the Rocking R. Bar, the Zebra, Plonk?it really just depends on what you are looking for.'
'Being at Montana State has been a great experience, hands down one of the best choices of my life. In Bozeman, there's no such thing as a stranger, just a friend you haven't made yet. There is always something to do, either scholastically or socially.'

The College Prowler Process
While writing our series of college guides, we felt it was critical that our content was unbiased and unaffiliated with any college or university. By hiring current students as authors, we strive to create college guides that truly represent each campus. Our guides cover both the good and the bad, and whether survey responses point to recurring trends or varying opinions, these sentiments are directly and proportionally expressed through our guides.
From the very beginning, student writers gather the most up-to-date stats, facts, and inside information on their colleges. They fill each section with student quotes and summarize the findings in editorial reviews. In addition, each school receives a collection of letter grades (A through F) that reflect student opinion. Once a guide is written, additional college students serve as editors and check for accuracy even more extensively. This same process is applied to all of the 258 colleges and universities College Prowler currently covers. Each guide is the result of endless student contributions, hundreds of pages of research and writing, and countless hours of hard work. All of this has led to the creation of a student information network that stretches across the nation. It’s no easy accomplishment, but it’s the reason that our guides are such a great resource.
