My niece is there and absolutely loves it. It helps to be outdoorsy, but you’ll find your niche even if you are not. I wouldn’t have said that my niece was a particularly outdoorsy-type of person, but it definitely grew on her out there. A lot of the orientation-type activities do revolve around hiking, canoeing, rafting, camping, etc. but I believe most of those are optional. She said the guide on her initial tour told the kids NOT to go there if you are looking for a big-time party school. A lot of the kids have a seasons pass to Bridger Bowl, because the free shuttle goes up there. There is actually shop on campus that will wax your skis. Either the town or the school has free shuttles that take students around the town and to places like Target. Niece lived on campus for two years, but now has an apartment off campus. There was a food court in both her dorms. She said the food was good (she gained the “Freshman 15” despite being pretty physically active). She believes her education has been top notch. MSU gives in-state tuition rates to all students who achieve certain ACT scores, so it is a relatively affordable school. The students Uber to the airport, but niece felt her bike was indispensable around campus.
