Choosing a college that best fits you is important. A personal visit to the MSU campus will provide an opportunity to meet faculty,
staff and students and to explore campus life. A college visit is
an excellent way to decide if MSU is the university for you. Because selecting a college is such an important decision, families are welcome and encouraged to participate. As part of your
campus visit, the Admissions and New Student Services staff can schedule any or all of the
following for you: a campus tour, a residence hall tour, an appointment with
a MSU Representative, a visit with a faculty member and a classroom visit.
To schedule your visit and meetings, you are encouraged to call at least two weeks in advance of your
planned visit. Please contact Brenda Truman, the Campus Visit Coordinator in the Admissions and New Student Services office at 406/994-2452,
toll free 1-888-MSU-CATS or send e-mail to admissions@montana.edu. You are also more than welcome to just “drop in” and go on a campus
tour.
Campus Tours
Walking tours of campus are offered twice daily, Monday through Friday
(excluding holidays) at 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. The campus tour departs promptly from Strand Union (sub) Room 201. The 45-60 minute student-guided tour encompasses the main areas of campus and includes a narration of the academics and history of MSU. The campus tour also provides an excellent opportunity for you to talk with a current MSU student.
This is a walking tour and comfortable shoes are recommended.
Residence Hall Tours
The Residence Life staff offers tours of the residence halls at 1:00 p.m., Monday through Friday (excluding holidays). These tours are designed to address the individual interests of the participants. Tours may include all ten of the residence hall facilities, or just one depending on group interest. The typical completion time for a tour is one hour. Note: The Residence Hall tour time will be changing to 11:00am after Monday August 13th.
The tour guides are MSU students who currently live on-campus. They will provide you with information regarding the building facilities and amenities, offer the opportunity to view actual rooms in each residence hall, and articulate the traditional and current events occurring in each residence hall.
For additional information contact the Residence Life Department at (406) 994-2661 or e-mail us at housing@montana.edu
MSU Representative
Follow-up your tour by meeting with one of our MSU Representatives.
We look forward to your visit so we can answer your questions about the admissions process, scholarship opportunities, academic programs, student life and much more at Montana
State University. This is an informal visit and families are encouraged to
participate.
Please contact Admissions and New Student Services to make arrangements to meet with a MSU
Representative.
Visit with a Faculty Member
If you are interested in a specific discipline, we can help schedule a department meeting with a faculty member from your area of interest. If you are uncertain
about a field of study, you may want to visit with a general studies advisor
who can give you a broad overview of the academic opportunities at MSU.
Please contact Admissions and New Student Services to make arrangements to meet with a
faculty member.
Classroom Visits
When you join us for a campus visit, you will also have the opportunity
to attend a class on campus. When you arrive, the Admissions and New Student Services
staff will provide you with a schedule of classes, which are open for
visitors to observe. You can attend one or more classes that interest you and fit into
your schedule for the day. Classroom visits are available October
through April when school is in session.

Host Programs
The Residence Life office invites you to experience our campus "first hand" as an overnight guest at MSU. Your host will be a residence hall student who will provide you the opportunity to "shadow" them through a typical day as a college student. This may include: attending a college class lecture, participating in an RHA activity, watching one of the athletic teams compete on the home court, or simply meeting current MSU students and discussing their experiences on campus and in the classroom.
The Host Program fee is $50 per night, which includes housing and meal service. The program is available from
October 1st through April 30th. In order to receive your placement with a host volunteer we request that you call at least two weeks in advance of your planned visit. If you are interested in participating in the Host Program you may call the Residence Life Office at (406) 994-2661 or email us at
housing@montana.edu.
