Marquette University
- Campus Strictness

Rule Breakers Beware MU

MU is pretty strict about most things....just stay out of trouble. Private Catholic University...what do you expect?

Dorm Strictness Tight, Off Campus Much More Relaxed

The dorm rules suck pretty bad but they're easy to get around, although some are unavoidable. You just have to be sneaky. But a lot of the rules are in place because Marquette is in a city and they don't want random people going into the dorms. Off campus is very nice though. DPS(department of public safety) is so laid back when it comes to parties. Pretty much they're there for two reason, to make sure you don't get robbed by people from the ghetto and to make sure your party doesn't get busted by Milwaukee Police. MPD are the ones you want to watch out for cause they'll hit you hard, but DPS always shows up first to warn you that they might be coming.

DPS Is Lenient, Ras, Not So Much

DPS generally only disciplines students if they are endangering themselves or others and will generally look the other way as long as you're not doing illegal things in the residence halls. Obviously, they report major crimes and drug offenses to the police, but alcohol violations are taken care of on the university level. The visitation policies are pretty strict-opposite genders must be out of the halls by 1 during the week or 2 on weekends, and this is heavily enforced. Still, students must remember this is a Jesuit university and, as such, the Diocese and Society of Jesus have a lot of pull in campus social policies.
