Challenging but Manageable

Classes are tough but you can work through them. Marquette definitely challenges you.

Some Houses, Some Apartments

Apartments are generally better options. Some people live in houses and have a great time with good landlords but others don't have good experiences.

Sense of Community, Alumni, Overall Warmth

There's something special about Marquette. No, it isn't Notre Dame but it certainly isn't trying to be. I've visited friends at Loyola-Chicago, Xavier, SLU, Gonzaga, Fordham--you name the Jesuit school, and there simply isn't the sense of warmth and community at those schools. Marquette just has a combination aura of midwestern charm with a tiny bit of Chicago snobbery, add in some spirituality and basketball love with a lot of beautiful people and you get the community of Marquette.

I can't wait to come back to Milwaukee, I really want to be a dedicated alum.

Challenging With Great Opportunities Later

Everyone double majors in the business school. Workload is a lot of numbers, statistics, and presentations.

Left school with a high paying job as in the Six Sigma area of a company.

Much Better Than It Used to Be

Sodexo got threatened by Marquette University government and got its act together. Food has so much more variety now than when I first came to campus. You can actually eat really healthy now.

Awesome, Milwaukee Is a Cheap "Foodie" City

You would not believe the restaurants in MKE. It's like Chicago except better prices. You have everything from Sanford (consistently one of the highest rated restaurants in the USA) to Conejito's (excellent, dirt cheap Mexican food). Milwaukee has so many different cultures in one city--you get the best German, American, Polish, Mexican, Irish--man, all these foods, I could go on. There is so much food and liquor in this town to be experienced.

Standard City Parking

Milwaukee meter maids are strict. Buy a campus pass if you need one, otherwise just don't bring a car freshman and sophomore year, you can take the bus it's easy. Then junior year get a spot on campus or by your apartment.

Fantastic

Prestige, warmth, history. I just love everything about my Marquette experience. The school has a reputation. The people are warm and welcoming. There is so much history here as well.

It's not a snobby place, but people know what Marquette is. It's a great place to get an education, have a few beers and make some great friends.

And Milwaukee is an experience in and of itself. I was here for 4 years and I've explored the city and every time my friends and I go out we always find something new.

Very Generous

Considering the University president just raised $43 million in scholarships a few days ago for his retirement, MU is doing quite well. Every one of my friends has at least $20k in scholarships.

Catholic but Accepting

Jesuits are all about "the more you know, the better". Students are open to all faiths but most are Catholics.
