Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

It is almost unanimous—Marquette students could not be more satisfied with their experience here. Almost every student who looks back at their experience says they would make the same decision all over again if they could. Even if a student experienced uneasiness or uncertainty at the start, they almost never regret their decision in the end. Yes, money may be an issue, the campus is not all that diverse, and studying hard is a must, but hey, no school is perfect. Marquette can offer more than you may expect, like a welcoming atmosphere, distinguished faculty, and a noteworthy academic reputation.

During the college selection process, Marquette is often a top pick among prospective college students due to a number of factors. Sure, students are quick to recognize the drawbacks, but most acknowledge the beneficial qualities Marquette can provide, such as the strong academic foundation, top-quality professors, and an endless amount of entertainment opportunities in a major city location. Most of all, a feeling of small-town community togetherness makes Marquette feel unique to the students here. With all things considered, if you can swing the cost of a Marquette education, then the price is right—so come on down. Of course, like any experience in life, college is what you make it. So get involved, make new friends, and try new experiences, and it will be the time of your life.

I love MU. I couldn’t have made a better choice. The people are great, and everyone has a big sense of pride in this school. It’s got a real sense of community (but not the cheesy kind). You can walk down the street and see lots of people you know. The school is big enough to provide all the benefits of a big school, but small enough that students aren’t just statistics.

I have enjoyed playing on the lacrosse team and the close groups of friends that I have made as a result. My experience with the radio station has allowed me to do things that I couldn’t do in high school. Several of my teachers have also been inspirational and encouraged me in my work.

I really like Marquette so far, and I do not wish I was at a different school. I like that I have to take religion classes, and I like that Marquette is large enough to be in Division 1 but small enough that the atmosphere is personal. I’m not just one more face in the crowd. I have met a lot of great professors, administrators, students, and others. I like all the service projects that happen throughout the year, and I am comfortable Marquette will challenge me in my studies.
