The University of Montana

What are the popular events and traditions at The University of Montana?

University of Montana traditions include Grizzlies football games, the Foresters' Ball and the Kyiyo Pow Wow. Each draws on a different part of campus life: athletics, forestry education and Native American cultural gathering and community.

The Foresters' Ball is a longstanding event associated with the W.A. Franke College of Forestry and Conservation and its students. The Kyiyo Pow Wow brings dancers, singers and attendees together for a student-organized cultural event. Home football games and related gatherings also provide recurring occasions for students and alumni to meet. Event dates, admission arrangements and participation expectations can change, so students should consult each year's organizers rather than rely on a past schedule.

What are the student housing and dining options at The University of Montana?

The University of Montana offers university-operated housing for undergraduates, including residence-hall options. Students interested in campus housing should review current eligibility rules, application dates and room types early; the existence of housing does not mean every applicant is guaranteed a preferred space.

Campus dining includes a residential dining operation and other food outlets. Meal-plan requirements and choices can depend on a student's housing assignment, so a housing offer and its dining terms should be read together. Students considering an apartment or an off-campus rental should compare the full lease period, utilities, transportation and food costs - not just the advertised monthly rent - with the university's current housing and dining options.
