    Am learning a lot

    The classrooms hold about 30 people each, so the classes are fairly small. You get to know your professor which is great if you want to apply for scholarships. I have learned so much in just my first semester at MSU-B.
    Am enjoying being here

    The campus is beautiful, I have a great view from my dorm room. It only takes about 10 minutes to get across campus so it's easy to get around. There is always something to do if you live on campus. The dorm rooms are fairly big and there's a sink in each one, which is very convenient.
    Bang for the buck

    They have what is called a flat spot where you pay for 12 credits but you can take up to 18 for the same price, which is another class or two that are essentially free.
    Tips for prospective students

    Get involved. It is a great way to meet new people. There are a lot of clubs and organizations to join. Live in the dorms for the first year, because you also meet a lot of people that way, too. And take advantage of the flat spot. It's a free class.
    Great for these types of students

    Shy students, like myself. I don't like being in a large lecture hall like many colleges have. I prefer being in a class of no more than 30 people, which is exactly what MSU-B has. MSU-B also has one of the best education programs in the country so it is great for students interested in being teachers.

    Am learning a lot

    The teachers are really nice but not very lenient on assignments. A lot of teachers figure that it's not their fault if a student fails. They don't mind here if students need help out side of class, they're always willing to help.
    Am enjoying being here

    I personally enjoy the fact that there isn't the type or amount of drama at MSU-Billings like there is in high schools. Students are much more relaxed here than in high school.
    Bang for the buck

    I didn't have much trouble with my fees until I looked at my fees for this next semester. I found out that I was being charged for health insurance that I didn't want out of loan money that I need. I have gotten everything resolved, but it would be easier if they just didn't add the health insurance until I actually want it.
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't listen to the advisers when they try to push you for more credits. I took sixteen credits because my advisor kept pushing me for it. I became very over loaded in my classes and in result have obtained a lower GPA than I had wished. DO WHAT YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE CAPABLE OF DOING!
    Great for these types of students

    Great for relaxed students of any age because people here are very open minded in general.

    Am learning a lot

    The classroom setting is small, so it's very easy to learn since you get a lot of attention from the professors.
    Am enjoying being here

    I hate the city of Billings but love the school. People there are willing to help you and get things worked out. There is a lot of stuff to do outside of classes, such as RHA or HEROES or SADD. There is also Service Saturday, where you can do community service with a group of people.
    Bang for the buck

    It's the least expensive school that I looked at. Also, when I compare my knowledge I've obtained here to my friends who attend other colleges, mine is usually greater, due to smaller classrooms.
    Tips for prospective students

    When you don't know what to do, ask questions. People are willing to help you.
    Great for these types of students

    Every type of student should apply here. It will challenge you scholastically. Also, you will face professors with different opinions than yours that force you to know where you stand and become grounded in your beliefs and opinions.

    Tips for prospective students

    When going into college, take the time to sign up for scholarships.. even if it's time consuming!
    Academic Rigor

    The professors are great! They make sure you understand the material he or she teaches, and they will work with you if you don't.
    Dorm Life

    The dorms are a great feature in this university. The resident directors on every floor are very helpful, and it's such a great way to meet new friends.
    Food and Dining

    Amazing! MSUB has such a variety of foods in the cafeteria and they are currently remodeling to add more choices.
    What to do for fun

    The sky is the limit for activities on campus. There are religious groups, organizations, volunteer groups, dances, intramural sports, gathering for capture the flag or tag, and much more. Also, there is the mall, movie theaters, and great dining places as well.
    Bang for the buck

    Along with a good food plan, MSUB offers extra money to you to spend in their store for clothes, books, etc. or in the coffee/food shops around campus.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    None.
    Great for these types of students

    Any!

    The choices are endless. There are activities for anyone who wishes to be active.

    Am learning a lot

    MSUB has provided a great learning environment for every student. I have really filled my brain with not only information including my major, but also study habits and actions that will help me to pursue my career.
    Am enjoying being here

    MSUB has the perfect size campus. It is a larger college, but the campus is not too big and overwhelming. It really is a great area in Billings and the people here are great. I enjoy residing in Billings.
    Bang for the buck

    Money is always helpful, not matter what state of hopelessness one is in. College does not cost as much here as it does at other colleges. Also, you are getting the same education, if not a better one here at MSUB.
    Tips for prospective students

    Some ideal tips I would give prospective students is always do your homework no matter how bad you want to go out with your friends, they will wait for you. Also, start on a good note. If you have good grades right off the bat of the semester, the year will go by a lot quicker and finals will be a lot easier. Do not skip class, period. No matter how easy you think your class is. Lastly, make good friends. Study buddies will help you pass your classes.
    Great for these types of students

    Have fun in college. It is a great experience and you learn a lot about the outside world. College is supposed to be exciting and new, but it is also supposed to get your mind thinking and warming up for what you are about to endure in your future.
