Study Abroad Benefits Students, University
More University of Montana students are studying abroad than ever before, despite the drop in enrollment. Just over 300 students studied in other countries last year.

Muslim Students Association Addresses Misconceptions During “Islam Awareness Week”
The 2010 U.S. Religious Census reported that Montana is the least Muslim state in the country, with only 0.034 percent of the population practicing Islam. The University of Montana Muslim Students Association reached out to non-Muslims last week to address misconceptions about the religion during “Islam Awareness Week.” Reporter Kyle Schmauch talked to members of the organization and found that while much of Missoula does not know much about Islam, Muslims are generally well-received by the community. The MSA has between 30 and 40 members and reports that around 100 Muslims live in Missoula, which is roughly one-third of the entire Muslim population in the state.
“Rate My Landlord” website gets mixed reviews from students, landlords
The ASUM Off-Campus Renter Center launched its new “Rate My Landlord” website late last spring. So far, the site is largely unknown to students and property managers, but it is already causing some controversy. Reporter Kyle Schmauch and photographer Don Fisher talked to student renter Amanda Bryant, Real Estate Management Group Operations Manager Brittni Hertz, and Renter Center Director Katherine Brady. Bryant reported a bad private landlord on the site after breaking her lease and scrambling to find housing at the start of the school year. Hertz says the site has been mostly negative toward property managers, but says it could be beneficial for all parties if the public could see it and if it was better regulated. Brady says the site is just trying to inform students who are at a disadvantage with the rental market in Missoula.
