Visit the University of Montana
Take UM for a test drive
You know how they say photos never capture the majesty of a mountain? Well, no matter
what we write about UM – and it’s admittedly poetic – the very best way to understand
what makes this place special is to visit Griz country for yourself.
And you're in luck because UM offers prospective students and their families numerous
ways to get to know us.

Meet Missoula
With roughly 80,000 full-time residents, Missoula is often referred to as the cultural
capital of Montana, offering the amenities and activities of big-city living while
retaining the charm and community feel of a mid-sized town. Whether you're looking
for arts and entertainment, die-hard sports culture or civic-minded organizations
that serve the community, Missoula is home to your kind of people.
Double down on Missoula
If you grew up in Missoula or you've lived here for some time, you probably already
know what western Montana here has to offer. But you just might see your hometown
in a different light as a UM student.
