"I came from a small town where the entire K-12 school was smaller than my freshman history class. I worried about how I would fit in and would adjust to not being able to know everybody around me. But that's where the dorms kicked in. Campus already feels small as it is but the dorms increased that feeling. They really became my community and I've lived on campus for all four years of my college career and have made life long friends in the dorms."
Spring Orientation
What's the story with Spring Orientation?
This Orientation will provide you the opportunity to learn how to register for your classes and meet with your advisor. Orientation also teaches you about various services available on campus such as technology options, financial aid, campus recreation and more! It is required for all incoming students. We will mail you further information in late December, but don't worry--you are automatically registered for Spring Orientation as soon as you are accepted to The University of Montana for Spring 2010!
