What you get out of Marquette is really all about what you want. It has something for everyone, all it takes is finding your place (which is what college is all about, am I right?). Whatever your interest is, be it performing arts, sports, academics, clubs and organizations, or just meeting new people and doing new things, you will find all that and more here.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If you are considering attending this school, go look at it and take a tour! That is when you will truly know if it is the one for you. Know that Marquette is a beautiful campus, the coursework is academically challenging, the city of Milwaukee has plenty to explore, and the student body has a family-like feel. You'll know if it's for you when you visit!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Marquette's classes in general are demanding. They are rigorous enough that they are challenging, but in no way are they impossible. Hard work goes a long way here!
Describe the dorm life at your college.
If you are matched with the type of community that serves you best, you will surely enjoy dorm life! There are floors specialized for certain students in each major, such as engineering, nursing, and performing arts; as well as for students in the honors program, and the Community Service program.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
As far as options go, you have many! Marquette has an Italian Bistro, sub shop, burrito bar, salad bar, Einstein bagels, sushi bar, 50's style diner, numerous coffee shops, as well as more traditional dining options. The only con is that the plan is pretty expensive.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are a number of things to do on campus as well as throughout the city. Late Nite Marquette organizes events for students, such as life-size battleship, outdoor movies, and other various activities. Do not forget about watching our sports teams, especially BASKETBALL. Off-campus you can go to concerts at nearby venues such as The Pabst, The Rave, or The Riverside. Exploring new restaurants, parks, and shops is always fun too!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
It's no secret that nearly all private schools are expensive. Marquette awards scholarships that help immensely. As far as getting your money's worth, you most definitely do. Technology is updated, class sizes are small, and coursework is applicable and current.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
There is the Joan of Arc chapel on campus, which was moved there from France. Inside there is a stone, that Joan kissed, which is colder than the other stones. As far as traditions, the sea of gold walking to the Bradley Center on Basketball game-days is pretty incredible.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
If you want to succeed here, or really anywhere, you are going to have to work. Marquette is for those with a goal in mind, and are willing to work to get to it. Although the work loads vary with each major, from communications to engineering, you will have to pick up a book and study at some point
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Whatever you're interested in, I'm sure they have a club for it here. And if not, it's very easy to start one up! We have sports at all levels, from Division 1, to club sports, to intramural sports.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
People who are involved in Greek life seem to love it! But if that is not your thing, don't worry, they aren't a huge part of Marquette's student life.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Safety is a priority at Marquette. Any student can call Department of Public Safety if they need an escort to walk them somewhere on campus or in the nearby area. There is always a blue light phone in sight, which at the push of a button you are speaking with an officer. In the evenings, students can call a LIMO (which is a van, misleading, I know) which will pick them up and drive him within the campus' surrounding area.
