Review of University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee

from Bristol, WI

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

I have learned so much so far at UWM. My art classes are fantastic! The instructors are very knowledgeable in their fields, and push creativity and new thoughts into my head effortlessly. I can't wait to go back!

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I am definitely enjoying myself at UWM. The campus is the perfect size for me - lots of people on a smaller campus. There's always something to do whether it be hanging out with friends at the Union Grind or exploring the streets of Milwaukee. I think it's great that it is a commuter school - those who choose to live at home are given the option and not required to live in the dorms.

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

Any school will be more than most can afford, but compared to other schools the tuition is reasonable for me. The education you receive here is definitely worth the money.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Take a tour of the campus. See if it is the right size for you. Don't only tour the campus, but have a look at the surrounding areas. You won't spend all of your time on campus, so make sure that there are enough activities for you to do that you'll enjoy. Think about living in the city and see if it's right for you. City-living isn't cut out for everyone. Also check into the commuter life, see if it's for you. Compare prices for driving, taking the bus or living on campus.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

UWM is great for students who want to save money - if you live in the Greater Milwaukee area. It is also a great place for students who enjoy diversity. The lake and parks aren't far at all from campus, so if you enjoy being outdoors UWM is a great place to find it - even within the city!
