There are many choices for activities on campus where you can interact with friends and meet new people. Around campus, many departments and clubs put together events and programs. In your halls, the Resident Assistant on your floor will provide multiple programs and 4 floor snacks each semester. These programs will be social to bond your floor, diverse, educational, teach you about health, and can help you get involved in the University and Missoula community. Make sure you look for advertisements around your hall for each program event. Additionally, the University Center provides all-campus programs for students. These vary from movies and comedy events to Prose & Poems and motivational speakers.

Missoula is a fun, diverse, and exciting community. There are so many wonderful opportunities this community offers to students. Many businesses offer student discounts with your Griz Card or allow you to use your UMoney at their locations. Feel free to enjoy activities such as ice skating, First Friday, Farmer's Market, many festivals and live bands in Caras Park, floating on the river, or just eating at great restaurants. 

If you do decide to bring your car, parking lots are located throughout campus. If you park a car on campus, your vehicle must have a parking permit. You may purchase a parking permit by logging into CyberBear. For more information on rates and designated parking areas, please visit the UM Police Department website.
 
It is very easy to live on campus without a car. The University of Montana and the Missoula community are pedestrian and bicyclist friendly. The ASUM Transportation Office offers free bus service for students to the South Campus and Missoula College, as well as a downtown shuttle service in the evenings, Monday through Saturday. In addition, the Mountain Line city bus service offers regular routes all over town! In order to use these bus systems, you must have a valid Griz Card.
