Dorm preference at Marquette is a toss-up. The school provides places from down-and-dirty to clean-and-classy, so there are dorms to suit any student’s needs or interests. Options include coed, single-sex, private bathrooms, and specialty housing floors for nursing, engineering, and honors students. Though most students complain about dorm life, studies have shown that students who live on campus tend to achieve higher grades, become more involved, and flat-out have a more pleasant college experience than those who live off campus. Since freshman and sophomores are required to live on campus in Marquette residence halls, it might be more difficult to get into some halls, such as McCormick. Although slightly run-down and cramped, the majority of incoming students prefer McCormick as their number one choice, since it is coed and all freshmen (an excellent way to start your first year of college with a bang). If a party atmosphere is not your scene, O’Donnell and Cobeen house single-sex first-year students, and honors floors are located in the best rated dorm on campus, Straz Tower (East). So dorms have their ups and downs, but all fellow first- and second-year students are in the same boat, so you just have to make the most of it. Students Speak Out

The MU dorms are cool. I had fun in the all-guys dorm, but I don’t know what living in an all-girls dorm is like. All the dorms are nice, though. McCormick is the dorm that most freshmen live in—it’s pretty cool because you get to meet a ton of people, but the rooms are kind of small. |

Dorm Life
C
The dorm life at Marquette University is fantastic, but the practices of the university in regulating students is terrible. The visitation hours is a good idea but of fellow students there is no respect or privacy given.

Rules are strict in dorms
B
Living in dorms is a nice way to meet people but the rules are a little strict. You have to live in a dorm your freshman and sophomore years, but upperclass dorms are nicer than freshman ones. Off-campus housing is awesome, and there is something for everyone.

Uck. Don't listen to these crazy fools - Cobeen is the best. It's all girls, so it stays clean and quiet. You know those stories of someone geting woken up at 2 a.m. by some drunk peeing on their door? Won't happen in the 'Been, and our rooms are very nice with the best dining hall on campus. And you can get to Milwakee Public Library and the Rec at Straz in like 2 minutes.

East Hall is by far the nicest...
East Hall is by far the nicest dorm to live in. That’s where I stayed last year, but the only way that you can get in as a freshman is to be in the honors program. Otherwise, your choices will most likely be Cobeen or McCormick. Cobeen is all-girls dorm, but the rooms are nice. At McCormick, the rooms are tiny, almost like a dungeon, but if you don’t mind the small rooms and want to be in a place where there is non-stop action, that’s the place to be. You’ll meet a ton of people very quickly there. Orientation week will help with that, too. |
