International student viewpoints "Studying abroad in America is a dream come true. After finishing my bachelor’s degree
at the University of Montana, I plan to obtain a master's degree in Environmental
Justice will be able to use my knowledge to help develop my homeland, and to raise
the quality of life for the local people." "Missoula is a safe place to live, and as a female I feel safe to bike, walk and hike
everywhere. It is easy to connect with the community who is genuinely helpful and
interested in connecting with international students. At the UM, international students
are a connected group, and we support each other." “I gradually found my passion for visual storytelling when I was a sophomore. Then
I heard the School of Journalism at UM is one of the best in the country. I decided
to dive in.” 13:1 student-to-faculty ratio $138M in research awards in 2021 75K Missoula population 40 inches of snow, on average, per year 10K students at UM Top 10 journalism school in US
