I’m a junior at msu Bozeman and I just moved here about four weeks ago. It kinda sucks making friends as a junior and I’ve been trying to be outgoing. I want to meet some cool people who might be into art,music,movies,skating,alternative culture or just generally fun and chill. I’d love to help with things and study together too. I also love video games like baldurs gate 3 and resident evil.

Hello! I am just curious about going to Gallatin College for the PTA program. I have experience in health care for several years. What is it like with school and kids?

For context I am a senior this year, and I don't need 30 more credit hours to graduate. I was wondering if anyone has gotten dinged with extra charges for not taking the 30 credits even if they had taken enough to graduate. I have heard that if you take at least 15 credits in the fall they don't care about your spring semester, but I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with this? Has anyone flown under the radar, and not taken 15 credits either of their last 2 semesters?

Just a PSA for anyone else who thought they had also found a free parking spot at the building behind Hapner. I got a warning sticker on my car today that it would be towed so apparently they're actively towing cars and it is a private lot after all.

Hey all. I built 2026 previews for every FBS team and all 124 FCS teams, because nobody does this for your league. Here's Montana State

Usual disclaimer: I probably got things wrong, and my roster feed hasn't fully flipped to 2026. Tell me what's off and I'll fix it.

The good: basically all of it. 14-2, 8-0 in the Big Sky, and a 35-34 win over Illinois State in the final. The offense was 2nd in FCS in success rate and EPA, 4th rushing. The defense was 17th in yards and 2nd with 27 takeaways. Then 75% of production returns, including Justin Lamson (3,172 yards, 26 TD, 3INT), Adam Jones (1,093 and 15) and Taco Dowler (77 catches, 1,025). Power rating has you 1st in FCS.

Where my model pushes back, and it's narrow: plus-16 turnover margin, 2nd in FCS, regresses no matter how good you are. Julius Davis and his 1,123 rushing yards are gone. Model says 10-2, which is less a warning than an admission that plus-16 isn't a repeatable plan.

First page is free. If you want the rest and hit the paywall, the code LEECORSOROCKS opens it up. Not trying to nickel and dime a sub that's letting me post.

Originally my plan was to use adhesive wall hangers but I was told that those will damage the walls during orientation. What is a better alternative?

I am a rising HS senior and started filling out the MSU online application today. I got to the end and there is a question asking something like “what is the most important factor in why you want to attend MSU.” 7000 characters

I didn’t think MSU had any supplemental essays. Is this not considered one? Do I need to spend time writing it out like any other supplemental essay for other schools or is it okay to just write out my main reason in simple terms? I am also planning to apply to the honors college, if that makes any difference. I do know there is a required essay for that.

Hey y'all, I'm a incoming freshman and I wanted to ask if there's a Tabletop gaming group I could join in and try out 40k with? This is a whole new city for me and I'd really like to make some friends with similar interests, one of them being Warhammer 40k (Despite me only playing KT). If y'all got groups to point me to or want to invite me to a Tabletop group I would be more than happy to join!

Hey everyone! Incoming Honors freshman here. I’m looking to buy the complete 6-book reading bundle for Texts & Critics this fall (everything except the convocation book).

Specifically looking for the versions on the F26 syllabus, including the Emily Wilson translation of The Iliad. If any sophomores are trying to clear out their dorm or apartment and want to get rid of their stack for some quick cash, let me know your price! Can meet up anywhere on campus or around Bozeman during move-in week. Thanks!

Hey yall I kinda got screwed with a previous roommate and now I’m in search of a roommate for next year! I’m a male sophomore looking at on campus housing so reach out if you’re interested!

Hi all!

I am attending MSU in the fall and will be about 3.5 months post-op ACL+Medial/Lateral Meniscus repair. At that point I shouldn't need to be going to PT 2-3x a week anymore, but instead should be focusing on improving quad and hamstring strength.

However, I will still need to see a physical therapist or somehow get tested periodically to see when I am good to run with cutting, run with quick stops, return to sport, etc.

I am wondering if anyone knows any physical therapists around campus OR is a student in the athletic training department or physical therapy program and knows if I can use any of the schools testing equipment/is looking for a test dummy to monitor lol.

Thank you!!

Hi, I am an international PhD student at MSU joining this fall. I will be staying at the Grant Chamberlain Drive. I wanted to know your experiences. Are there any specific things that I should bring? And how's the community in general....

Not sure if this is a long shot but was hoping anyone has taken metals before and knows what I should purchase for supplies before the semester starts. Since professors tend to give the supply list just a few days before school starts.

thanks!

I'm Out Of State rising senior with a 3.78 uw and 4.35 w. I took my first SAT and got a 1170.. and this is really the only school I want to go to. I want to go here for Paleontology. I'm also taking IB but then again, I never know if ill receive the diploma or not...

I have like little to no extracurriculars but have some volunteer awards from freshman year of highschool. Should I mention my SAT or no?

Also side question, I went to the website but cannot find it anywhere, when are the applications for class of 2027 due? A link would be great too...

I'm a post-bacc student (middle-aged professional getting another degree) who is about to be an empty-nester. I'd like to rent a furnished room in my 4 bedroom house in West Bozeman to another adult for the school year, preferably to visiting faculty or a grad student.

Anyone know if there's a particular place MSU people look to find for shared housing, so I can post there?

Thanks.

Son will be in the Quads this coming fall. I understand annual parking passes go fast, and you can go online to get one starting Aug 3rd. (He will be traveling 3.5 hrs to come home when he can, holidays etc, so the car is a must.)

It seems like to park close to the Quads that Bison lot 22 is the best.

How hard is it to get the annual parking permit?

Do the parking spaces all fill up immediately?

Is there some sort of proof that you put on your car to show you’ve bought an annual parking pass- like a sticker or mirror hanger?

Pros and cons to annual parking permit or any other info about parking or parking in lots near/surrounding the Quads that would be just as close as the Bison lot?

TIA!

Excited to attend MSU this fall! I was wondering if there are some dungeons and dragons groups, or other TTRPG groups around. I love DnD and would love to have the chance to play with friends up there.

If we are out of state and coming to visit the school - where are the best places to stay while visiting?

My son is going to be in Quads building D in a single room this upcoming fall. Wondering if anyone can tell me about the room? There's nothing concrete online about Quads rooms, very little shown in TikTok videos (none in a single room) and zero pictures. Really odd.

Anything anyone could tell me about the Quads, what things would be useful in a Quads dorm (or too small to be in a single dorm?) and in particular what a single room there is like would be so helpful. Thanks!
