"Montana State offered me exactly what I was looking for at the time. It is small and offered good interaction with the professors."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | maybe | Since I am working in a field not associated with what I studied, I cannot say either way. |
| Program Reputation | 8 | I'm not sure of how it stands overall when compared to other schools, but I feel like people know it when I tell them I studied there. |
| Program Quality | 8 | While I only work in film on a small basis, it is what I truly love to do, and I am happy that that opportunity was afforded to me through my education. |
| Instruction | 8 | Montana State University offers a very hands-on program. It teaches students using real-world equipment and situations. |
| How Difficult | 1 | I'm smart. Montana State University, while a decent school, isn't exactly known for their academic rigors, especially in my area of study. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | Montana State offered a wide selection of equipment that offered the chance to get hands on with gear one would expect to encounter in the real world. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 5 | I was a standard full-time student. So, I took classes within the set schedule and did not find any conflicts. |
| Academic Facilities | 8 | Montana State offered a wide selection of equipment that offered the chance to get hands on with gear one would expect to encounter in the real world. |
| Social Life | I stuck to my department and didn't really participate much in activities. So, I am not in a position to say fully. | |
| Placement Services | 1 | Since I am working as a sales manager and not in film full time, I would say that it is pretty poor. |
| Alumni Network | I am not part of the alumni network and have purposefully avoided it. |
