On October 1st, MSU is excited to offer A Day in the Life of a Montana State Bobcat: Campus Living Experience.

This presentation offers an engaging overview of a typical day for a student at Montana State University (MSU), with a focus on both academic and residential life. Presented by current MSU students, they showcase their experiences including a variety of academic activities, from attending lectures and participating in labs to engaging in group projects and studying at the library. The presentation also explores the benefits of on-campus living, such as the proximity to classes and resources, the supportive residential communities, and the easy access to dining facilities. The day wraps up with a look at evening activities, including campus events, recreational facilities, and social gatherings, all within the engaging environment of the campus.
