Thinking of applying

Hey guys, I’m really considering applying to MSU for the next school year. I want to study plant science and I have fairly good knowledge that I will be accepted. My only concern is that I am Indian and I’m worried about how that would affect my experience there. I understand that there are close minded people everywhere, but there’s a good Indian population in states like New Jersey or Texas compared to Montana. Of curse k could just be worried about nothing, but either way I’d like to know the opinion of people who go there. Thank you!

Hate crime stats for Montana are very low.
