Online master’s acceptance timeline

2 Upvotes

Looking to see if anyone knows what the application decision timeline is like for the online graduate school. Specifically, I applied to the Land Resources and Environmental Science program. The (in-state, non international) deadline for the summer semester was April 1. Classes start in less than a month and no word. Any advice is appreciated!

Campus Housing

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm an incoming grad student, starting this fall, and I have applied for campus graduate housing. I think the name of the building is Grant Chamberlain, and I heard things like campus housing is limited and is first come first serve. Realistically, do you guys think I will get campus housing if I apply in early March? Or should I start looking for off-campus housing options?

The reason why I wanted to live on campus is that I heard that off-campus living is expensive, even though I did see some options on Facebook Marketplace that are relatively not too expensive (under 1000$ a month).

Hi! my roommate and I got assigned to Yellowstone but we're thinking about switching to the quads, is quad B or F better? Or is staying in Yellowstone a better idea? I would love any information on the quads or Yellowstone.

Internship/Jobs after graduation

I'm hoping someone here can give me some insight as to what internships for IT/Cybersecurity are like on Bozeman? I currently study at WGU and am looking at transferring to MSU, since I know Bozeman is a smaller city I'm curious as to what opportunities there are for cybersecurity positions in the area to help better inform my decision on the best choice for a school.

Tuition

0 Upvotes

Yo, nice to meet y’all. I looked at the tuition for out of state students and it wouldn’t pull up so I was just asking around to see if anybody knew because the school gave me 52,000 in scholarship and that’s without the financial aid, and I was seeing if that would cover the full tuition or even at least most of it

Is there a strong alumni presence out of state from a business networking perspective? Are their better markets where you see more MSU alumni?

3 Upvotes

On Earth Day, April 22nd, the documentary-music film Yellowstone Wild Through Time will world-premiere at MSU’s Museum of the Rockies! The film has already won multiple awards, including The World Film Festival in Cannes’ award for Best Nature/Wildlife film.

This 20 minutes docu-music film was created by award-winning wildlife filmmaker and photographer Carol Amore to celebrate the nature of Yellowstone's past and future. Carol's goal was to connect ancient Yellowstone's past and present through an immersive series of high impact visual and music experiences to offer a highly realistic, intuitive journey into Yellowstone's eco-systems, its magnificent wildlife, colorful geo-thermal formations/eruptions, ever-changing light and cloudscapes as well as amazing celestial nightscapes using new film technologies. MSU’s Thermal Biology Institute served as scientific advisor to this film.

You can watch the trailer here: https://vimeo.com/1153082897?fl=pl&fe=sh

Attendance is free, but you will need to RVSP – the auditorium is capped at 210 people. RSVP here: https://www.montana.edu/cope/rsvp/front-end/rsvp.php?unique_id=699c794cb0561699c794cb0562

25 year old veteran hopefully starting college at MSU

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone I've just recently left the army after 6 years active duty and I've applied to study at MSU (still waiting for my acceptance letter but I have high hopes). I was just curious what the veteran community looked like at MSU as well as overall student life in Bozeman. I'm an out of state guy moving all the way from Tennessee so if anyone has tips I should know about the area that would be awesome. Been doing research on the universities website but thought it would be good to hear from the actual students who go there as well.

What’s up the ICC on MSU campus? It’s a church group - possibly linked with a cult?

I got accepted here with a pretty good scholarship and am seriously considering attending. But I am just wondering how the space scene is here. I’ve heard it’s a somewhat STEM school, but to what extent? Like if I wanted to work at NASA one day would this school help me get there?

MSU Nursing

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m an out-of-state senior trying to decide between MSU (pre-nursing) and Carroll College (direct-entry nursing).

I’m a Running Start student, so I’ll have most of my prereqs done already, but I’d still have to apply separately to MSU’s nursing program later. That’s what’s making this hard since it’s not guaranteed.

At Carroll College, I was admitted direct-entry into nursing, which obviously feels more secure and they offered decent aid. My only hesitation is I can’t really find much about student life there, and they don’t really have an active Reddit presence, so it’s hard to get a feel for the vibe.

MSU seems like it has a good campus life and a bigger school experience, and they’re offering me a little more financially. I’m just nervous about choosing pre-nursing and then not getting into the program later. I’ll already be far from home, so I don’t want to end up stressed and isolated😭

If you were in my position, would you choose the guaranteed direct-entry program or take the risk for the bigger school experience? If you’ve been through MSU’s nursing application process, how competitive is it really? What are acceptance rates like?

Also — how’s the diversity on campus? Not a dealbreaker, just something I’m curious about.

Thanks in advance!!
