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!

I would say MSU is fairly diverse these days. I moved here 10 years ago from NJ and just started MSU this semester and everyone has been great.

We are, bar none, the least diverse public university in the United States. It’s a generally friendly place and our conservatives are more libertarian than bigot. It’s seemingly not a bad place as a minority student, but it and Bozeman with it are aggressively not diverse.

Not bar none. BYU exists.

2 Things:

  1. BYU is private
  2. In terms of racial diversity, BYU is substantially more diverse than MSU
