Freshman: The student life here is amazing, and it's clear the university wants its students to feel comfortable on campus. TA's and professors have been mostly receptive to emails and eager to help out when needed. The location and surrounding resources are valuable and easy to take advantage of as a student. I wish professors were better equipped to use canvas or some other teaching website. Also, there should be a standardized attendance app or website that is used by all teachers rather than having to download two or three separate applications in a semester depending on which professors you have. Overall, a great experience!... Read 3,414 reviews

Freshman: 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!... Read 2,137 reviews

Alum: I graduated from GTC in 2010 with my associate's degree. The advisors when going in to finish my pre-reqs did not properly put me in appropriate classes based on my ACT scores so I had to test out on some once I realized I was placed wrong and lost out on that money as it was too late for a full refund at that point even though it was their error. I did not appreciate the closed mindedness of one of the psych instructors and did fail their class as our personalities did not work out and he clearly did not appreciate my input. Once in my program though, my teachers were FANTASTIC! The smaller classes made it easy for the instructors to pay attention to all students and be able to dedicate time to ensure all understood or got extra attention if needed when struggling. They took on feedback well and helped me graduate and succeed with getting into my career field... Read 329 reviews

Sophomore: It is a great school. Public Safety is on duty 24/7, making sure the campus is safe. They have an app that you can download as well, Guardio, that you can download to stay alert with what's going on on the campus. They also have emergency phones scattered around campus that go directly to Public Safety and/or the police department. Security is top notch there, and professors are super nice too. They really care about their students and want them to succeed and are very understanding about situations that may arise.... Read 492 reviews

Junior: My time at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee started with my freshman year in the height of the pandemic. As an incoming freshman, I was weary about being in a heavily populated college during a time of troubled health. However, UWM provided most classes online in formats that best suited student engagement and learning. This also allowed me to stay home for my first year and save some money! My sophomore year began on campus and the transition to rural living to being in a city was quite the change, however UWM provided numerous ways to bring students together and feel comfortable on campus and in the city. My time academically here has been wonderful, as I am able to be fully immersed in my passions. I'm allowed an abundance of creative freedom and following feedback, preparing me for the real world.... Read 3,322 reviews

Sophomore: The University of Wisconsin Platteville is a awesome close knit campus! I like so many things about it, from the friendly people to the beautiful scenery. One of my favorite things is the sense of community here. It's a small campus, which means it's easy to get to know people and make friends. I also love the opportunities that UW-Platteville offers for getting involved. There are so many clubs and organizations to choose from, and they cover a wide range of interests. I've joined a few already, and I'm looking forward to exploring more. Academically, UW-Platteville is a great fit for me as well. The classes are challenging, but the professors are supportive and approachable. They really want to help their students succeed, and it shows. Overall, I feel like UW-Platteville is the perfect place for me. I'm excited to see what the future holds here!... Read 1,104 reviews
