List of the Largest Colleges in Montana

If you are into big sporting events and variety in general (student activities, classes, majors, Greek life, etc.), a large college in Montana may be just what you need. Usually, go-getters are most successful at big colleges because professors usually don't have time to help students on a one-on-one level unless students put in the effort to attend office hours or set up an appointment to chat. Needless to say, lecture halls are big and filled with hundreds of students at big colleges. With so many students at a big college, you'll be able to meet so many different people from different backgrounds and cultures. If this sounds appealing to you, proceed to browse through our list of the biggest colleges in Montana below.
