I came put to watch my buddies son play. What a nice campus!!! Too bad the football coaches cant control the teams poor sportsmanship and swearing at the crowd. What a disgrace to talk to another team and their parents. Hope #80 gets his mouth cleaned out and #31 stops flipping the crowd off when his teammates make good plays while he stands on his cruches. #12 seemed to be the only one out there with some positive sportsmanship. Go sports team!!!

My son graduated in this school. Great school and landed him a great job! He had a little difficulty thriving the first year, he is a California boy, but bloomed to be a great student and embraced the beauty of Montana by fishing and hunting. You want your kid to have a great job, skip liberal arts. A skilled job will do your kid good. He graduated with a Engineering degree.

My time spent here has been an amazing advancement towards my career and I have created everlasting friendships. I have been able to complete all my classes on time and have had the opportunity to work one on one with the professors. They are very understanding and the small community provides a family like atmosphere that can't be beat. You get to know most of your fellow students and create contacts that come from all across the world. The rowdy crowds are always a great support for our teams and the town of Butte has so much history that I feel honored to live in such a close knit town. This school provides careers right after graduation and honestly, I could not have chosen a better school to attend if I wanted to. This place has been a home to me and challenged me in ways I never thought I could overcome.

Currently attending and it's exactly what I paid for; an engineering campus with renowned rigorous classes. The other review posted by the helicopter-parent isn't true. The campus is great and the staff are very reliable. However, the classes are/will be hard! This parent was obviously lied to by their child who didn't put enough effort into their academics. If one wants to succeed at Montana Tech they have to put in some hard work. This is why Montana Tech DOES create many internship opportunities. Companies realize the dedication students must commit to complete their education at Tech. If the homework for the classes are completed, a student can definitely expect success and job opportunities in their chosen field.

P.S. The food isn't great, but they are currently working on Grill options and are definitely improving.

As a non-traditional student I was initially hesitant about going back to school; However, the registrar and teachers have made it nothing but an easy transition into the Petroleum Engineering Department. As I get further into my studies the classes become challenging, yet more applicable. The professors work to bring real-life situations into the classroom, giving students a better understanding as to why we learn what we learn. When I have questions, the teachers are more than willing to answer them, in and out of the classroom. When it comes to working in the industry, career services is amazing at connecting students with the companies, giving us plenty of opportunities to meet with recruiters. Overall, I have nothing but good things to say about Montana Tech, it truly is a place to grow as an individual and a professional.

I am a current student going into my senior year at Montana Tech. The staff that I have encountered have been extremely helpful to me whenever I have any questions or need additional help. Sure there are times when I get redirected to someone else, but I would rather be redirected to someone that can actually help me than to stay with someone who is unsure. Once you find out the right people to talk to guidance is easy to come by. Most of the professors that I have encountered have an open door policy and encourage us to stop by for any help that they may offer. It is easy to go in and talk to them, they just leave it up to the students to take initiative and approach them. These classes are difficult! That is just the nature of these fields of study. With hard work and help from the professors and others (which many students do not take advantage of) the information can be learned. On top of professor help, the tutor center is available for scheduled appointments and walk-ins. The tutor center is staffed with students that have been through these classes so they understand the questions and woes of the students. No one wants to see someone fail, everyone will try and help however they can. One of the greatest things this college has done for its students is bring in many large companies to the career fair. This is the greatest opportunity to talk with these companies to try and get internships and jobs with them. Keep in mind that hundreds of students are trying to get in with these companies. The ones that get these positions work hard and make themselves look good. Montana Tech provides many different opportunities to learn how to make yourself appetizing to these companies. The surrounding area has many great outdoor activities and the campus hosts some nice events for its students as well. It is not a big city so there is not an abundance of things to do but really the reason to go to college is to learn and prepare for our future. This is a college that looks out for its students and is excited to see them succeed. I highly recommend Montana Tech to anyone that is looking for a college with a strong engineering discipline.

I am currently in my 6th semester starting this fall and I think that Montana Tech is a great university. One reason is the campus is small which makes for better class sizes as you progress towards your junior and senior level courses. Another great thing about this university is this school is ranked 6th in the nation for highest starting salaries. That alone is worth attending this university. To only have to pay about $11,000 a year for everything and receive one of the highest starting salaries is great. I still have about 3 years left towards my mechanical engineering degree, but it is definitely worth it. I would absolutely recommend this university to anyone looking to get a degree in business, nursing, or engineering.
