Caring people, lovely campus, and courses that grasp your interest!
The core classes are perfectly geared to students that are reaching their potential as they bring out your best tendencies and serve their purpose without being as overbearing as typical 'gen-eds.'
Another advantage of Marquette is the fact that the campus is located within the city of Milwaukee which is experiencing an unprecedented urban renaissance! The city atmosphere provides countless employment, cultural, and internship opportunities.
The basketball program is also great to follow! The games are mental and the rallying atmosphere around the team brings campus together!

I think going to Marquette is the best university to get a big university experience while also getting the perks of a smaller school. Specifically, I feel that the successful basketball team and the closeness to downtown Milwaukee makes the school feel like a buzzing university. On the other hand, the smaller class sizes makes learning engaging. I've always been able to create relationships with my teachers which adds to my understanding of subjects immensely. Lastly, the people at Marquette at the best. Everyone always talks about the alumni association and that Marquette follows you everywhere and it is true!
Marquette University is my favorite place on earth. The friends I have made here I know will be my friends for the rest of my life and Marquette’s emphasis on getting involved in the community has really allowed those friendship to be created. School spirit is amazing and on display at every basketball game. The professors really care for you, make themselves very accessible, and help you succeed. I love how close and involved Marquette is with the city of Milwaukee. I am so glad I chose Marquette!
