Montanans choose Montana State University in record numbers

Montana residents have enrolled in Montana State University http://www.montana.edu in record-high numbers this fall, helping the university to a new enrollment record of 16,440 students.

The number of Montana residents, both entering as freshmen and across all classes, is the highest in the university’s 123-year history, with 1,784 Montanans entering as freshmen and 10,122 Montanans attending overall.

"To have more Montanans come to MSU is not easy given that the number of high school students graduating each year has been fairly flat due to the state’s demographics," said MSU President Waded Cruzado. "Those same demographics may make this a high water mark for the number of Montana high school students entering as freshmen."
