from West Bend, WI

Describe your college in three sentences.

The University of Wisconsin Milwaukee is a world-class university. The faculty is top-notch and are well educated in their fields. They know their subjects well.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

As worried as one might be, apply to UW-Milwaukee. It is well worth the tuition. Take advantage of as many clubs and organizations as you can while prioritizing your academic success! Surprisingly, for a school of 30,000+ it still feels like a small, Midwestern school.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

College is never easy and there is no shortage of that here at UWM.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

The culture is respectful and understanding of one's lodging needs.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Although colleges have a bad reputation for food, the vast majority of UW-Milwaukee's food is made in house and/or produced locally. It is clear that they try to change the status quo of poor food quality.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

Join clubs, attend the campus' movie theater, catch a performance in Peck School of the Arts, take a walk, explore Milwaukee, explore Brady Street, take in the Milwaukee nightlife, the possibilities are endless!

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

You will get your money's worth at UWM. Join clubs and take advantage of opportunities and it will be worth more!

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Cool traditions on campus include the beginning of the year event, PantherFest. PantherFest is a live concert, hosting 2 popular artists of the students' choice. Another tradition is the UWM Science Bag. The Science Bag is a 42 year strong tradition of science professors lecturing about fun topics to the public.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

UWM is perfect for any student! Anyone will find their niche on campus!

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are over 300 clubs and organizations one can be a part of. An office is dedicated to helping students choose what ones may be of interest and how to join.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Greek Life is not a major component of the culture at UWM, but there still are Fraternities and Sororities one can join.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

UWM has their own in-house police station monitoring the campus at all times. They also have B.O.S.S. (Be On The Safe Side), which offers rides for students, and people to walk with you on campus after hours.
