This is a great place to learn. The campus is very well kept. The faculty is amazing. Its located in the last best place on earth. Just south of heaven. The Flathead valley is very peaceful. And the community is really nice. And Glacier National Park is just a half hour away. For the outdoor type this is the place to be. I'm an amateur photoagrapher so I really love this valley.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    I would tell myself that I should go to New York for college. The first college I went to wasn't for me, and it may have been tough, but it would have been great to start out in New York. I was afraid since I hadn't lived anywhere but Kalispell, but it really would have been a great experience. I'm going there next year, however, it would have been nice to have been there all for years. I would tell myself not to be afraid and that I could do well whether I was at home or across the country.
