Wendy

I have two AAS degrees from Highlands Technical school of Montana Tech and chose to return and get my BAS in Accounting and Management because the school is a great school. The professors challenge you so that you can learn and retain what you learn, Professors are available when you need them. I would choose a hands-on college over an online any day.

Sean

Montana Tech is centered about STEM degrees although there are other respectable degrees offered. All the professors I have usually have 5+ to 20+ years of work and experience in the field that they are teaching, they are very qualified. The housing is cheap and there are plenty of places to go on the weekend. I think Tech is a pretty great school.

Lindsay

Montana Tech has been a great place for me to pursue my degree. The class sizes range from as small as 10 to not much larger then 30 to 40 for most classes. I find that this smaller class size allows for me to be able to learn better and causes me to be more accountable to show up to class, as it is easy for professors to notice when you do not. The smaller sizes also allow for students to be able to create those much needed relationships with the professors. All the professors are more than happy to help you when ever they can. The student body is also friendly and allows for people in all different degrees to mingle. Overall, I find Montana Tech to be a great place to learn and meet new people.

Laurie

It is extremely expensive. Sax to say but if it doesn't change I won't be able to afford to keep going to college and all I want to do is get the education so I can better take care of my kids. The parking is annoying I drive from whitehall every day so its not like I can take the bus to school, but we keep losing more and more of our parking and the parking tickets are expensive and it doesn't even guarantee that you will get parking.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    If I could go back in time and talk to myself my senior year of high school, I would tell myself to work hard, fill out for more scholarships. Now that I'm in college I know I should've looked up more about college and the time-effort involved in all the classes. Classes in college are alot different than the ones you have in high school. When I was a senior in high school, I didn't think college classes would be much different than high school ones. I wish I would have been more prepared for college and I should have started preparing when I found out that I was attending Montana Tech. I believe that as a senior I was really stressed and thats why I didn't think to prepare more for college. Now when I talk to my friends in high school I tell them to fill out as many scholarship as possible and work hard.
