MSU crew in fall 2013

Its getting to be that time of year. Time to sum up the plethora of Montana state university threads! So who is actually going?

I am likely going as an Architecture major but want to get to know some people before I travel to Montana from Maine. It would be nice to know some freshman before I arrived, or possibly even find a room mate! Seems like a good place to find a fellow skier who has similar interests. Following the inspiration of Steezy_P, I am asking everyone to collaborate their MSU plans in this thread, as a way to meet people, make friends, and discuss the upcoming fall.

It seems to me that there are enough potential MSU Bozeman freshmen on here that it should warrant its own thread, as the one in regional forums doesn't see enough traffic.

As far as I go, I live in Maine and got accepted to the college of art and Architecture. I visited the school 2 summers ago and liked the vibe. I got a scholarship for being an out of state student based on SAT scores as im sure many potential freshman did, and am leaning strongly towards Bozeman over some of my other schools.

Having visited MSU and being 90 percent sure that I'll be going there (only other option is Carroll college, and I seriously prefer bozeman) Langford is easily the nicest dorm, just got renovated.

How are the Philosophy and Math departments at MSU? I'm considering transferring out of Fort Lewis because the Philosophy department is lackluster.

Not to sound like an ass, but what are you trying to do with a philosophy degree? Or are you double majoring philosophy and math?

Math department is good, mainly because the whole school focuses pretty much on engineering and like puts everything towards it. Dont know much about the phlosophy though.

Studying philosophy not because I want to study it. I couldn't care less about getting a job or what not. I'm also majoring in math because I want to teach High School math and study logic.

Word, I wish college wasn't expensive as fuck and i could justify studying things like philosophy just for the enrichment.

fuckin roskie for the weed, or drink, or kratom, or shine, or trippy seeds, or lsa, or molly, or any other fucked up thing you want to try. And by FAR the most skiers.

as long as i can get a decent amount of financial aid, i most likely will be coming within the next two years.


question for the masses: how long does it take to be able to declare residency in montana?

You will probably get some sort of financial aid, they give it out pretty easily.

As for your residency, it takes a year and you can only go to school part time (6 credits) each semester for a full year, get a montana drivers license, register to vote, and all that wonderful stuff and then you are a resident yayyy!!

And why not come next semester? You will not regret it.

PM me if you have any other questions I'd love to help you out

because with three incredible ski areas and a decent drinking/drug culture amongst people in our age group, there are quite a few distractions. a lot of people don't do well being away from home and lack self discipline and succumb to that. And then a lot of kids get forced to transfer or realize it isn't the right place for them. If you're looking for more of a college bro guy experience, its not the place for you. people always compare it to CU boulder and they're both so vastly different concerning the type of people that go there and a lot of people don't know that. I'll admit, I definitely answered the call of the mtns and dropped out after a year and a half to work at big sky. Luckily I'm in love with the town and adore everything about Montana so I really doubt I'm leaving anytime soon, even without MSU.

your going to run into that stuff one time or another. Its so great when I walk into my stair way and its dank as fuck reeking of burnt herb. It creates such a mellow and open environment. My RA is chill as fuck and has even bought me beer and even dropped me and some of my friends off at a party. Thats how college should be. When your RA is a dickhead it just makes the expereince so much worse. The whole building I live in is like one massive family that smokes eachother out and brings in the kegs for building raggers. Just saying you will probably run into people smoking and getting the good dorms is the tits so dont let the smoking turn you away totally your choice though man.
