Places to Go, Things to Do

Marquette is literally right next to downtown Milwaukee and not too far from Lake Michigan which is aweome when the weather is warmer. There are quite a few museums and some good sporting events happen around town often. There are also some cool neighboorhoods around that are cool to check out; students get a bus pass included in tuition so it's easy to get around. Campus also has a variety of events and stuff going on daily for those who aren't in the mood to leave campus. For those interested, the Amtrak station is not far from campus and its a quick train ride to Chicago for some variety in city atmosphere. Plenty of things to do.

Comfortable

Downtown Milwaukee is slightly smaller than the other big cities in the united States. However, there is a sufficient amount of things to do if you know what you are looking for. There are good restaurants and places to eat in the area, many sports events to attend, and a decent but not crazy night life. If you cannot get along with the people of Wisconsin then that might be saying something. If you are here during the summer, expect to eat a lot, attend many fairs and events such as Summerfest, State Fair, and many other festivities. The Milwaukee area is simply a comfortable place to be.

You'll NEVER Be Bored

There is so much to do all the time whether its watch a movie on the movie theater on campus, go to 10:00 mass, go for a walk downtown, go to a brewers game, go to the mall, and the list goes on and on. Marquette is so close to a major downtown which provides endless opportunities. You aren't sheltered from the real world at MU, its a very fulfilling experience.
