University of Montana Named ‘Most Scenic Campus’ By Rolling Stone

Something to remember as many students move back into the hallways and dorm rooms of the UM this week...

Back as early as 2009 Rolling Stone Magazine once named the University of Montana as the “Most scenic campus in America”. Does that still hold up today? We asked students arriving back to school that question this week...

"For sure. That is the reason why I'm coming back to finish my final semester. Everything about the campus is 'scenic'. So much rich history...the (buildings) are so beautiful," said Nord Hasling, student.

 

"The campus is laid out so well, it's as if they really thought about the layout before they built around it. And the architecture is really eye-catching," said Christi Lancome, visitor.

 

"My favorite reason to return to UM is the beauty of it. Rolling Stone nailed it," said Chris James, junior.

It's also worth mentioning that Outside Magazine also deemed the university as one of the "top 10 colleges nationally for combining academic quality and outdoor recreation".

"I like the fact that I can wrap up class and choose to either grab my snowboard and hit a nearby mountain or walk the 'M' depending on the weather," said Dixon Lancaster, visitor.
