First semester of freshman year was an emotional struggle, with having to leave home for the first time ever, but Marquette helped make that transition so much better. It is a gorgeous campus in the middle of Milwaukee, so there is always something to do -- all MU students receive a Milwaukee Bus Pass, so there are always places to readily explore! There are also so many different, unique clubs that anyone who attends here will find their group. Marquette is an older university (because it has been around for a while), but its still improving itself, with a brand new dorm hall, The Commons, a new physical therapy building, and renovations always being looked in to for the other buildings (there's even rumor that they are building a new rec center in the middle of campus). Marquette is also home to amazing D1 athletic teams! The men's basketball games are always a great time, as well as all the others. Overall this is a great university, even though it is a bit on the pricier side.
Marquette is filled with students who want to succeed and work hard. Being immersed in this environment urges all to work their hardest to achieve their goals. Although everyone has unique goals, Marquette equips their students with the tools necessary for success. For example, professors are always available to answer questions about class. Additionally, students are also very willing to help one another in order to excel in the classroom. The team environment you feel at Marquette is felt beyond the sporting events and reaches the classroom. When looking back on my time at Marquette, I will always have fond memories of participating in insightful labs, attending basketball games, and joining organizations to find my second family here on campus. I could not be more proud to be graduating from Marquette this spring. Ring out Ahoya!
Marquette is definitely a good school but could use some work in various areas. I am currently a junior and have found the academics at Marquette to be challenging, but not overly so. If you put in the work, getting an A in most classes should be possible. You have to live in the dorms for the first two years which is not the end of the world as they are quite nice. However, the dorm food leaves a lot to be desired. The surrounding area has not been my favorite as there is honestly not too much to do but I have never really felt unsafe. Overall, my experience there so far has been good!
