I love ALL of my classes. The teachers are very knowledgable. The best part is that if you are having trouble in your classes. We have free tutoring in the library! Also we have SI's (Supplemental Instruction students) They sit in your classes with you, they already know the material, so when you ask them a question, they reply with a brilliant answer. They can go as in depth as you want and they are free too. I find the harder classes easier to bear with their help. They have hours at least 4 times a week. They are amazing!
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
UWM is WAAAAAAY cheaper than other surrounding Universities. Cheap and beautiful! The campus is gorgeous! We have a water fountain running all summer. Well thought out and stylish buildings. We have various free events throughout the year. I definitely am happy I chose to go here!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
My tips would be to apply for as many scholarships as possible no matter how much they are worth, every little bit helps trust me!! Also apply for FAFSA asap!! Even when you are in school and you got your loans and whatnot. DON'T STOP applying for scholarships. It will help out in the long run.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
UWM is amazing, small campus but a BIG heart. Many students, small campus because we build up, not out. You don't have to walk for 20 min. to get to your next class. When you class is all the way across campus, it shouldn't take more than 10-15 min to get there. We are very artsy despite the fact that we are not an art school. We do have a division for those interested in arts (Peck School of the Arts). We literally have something for everyone! Come check out campus and some of our events! You'll fall in love, I did! Also try to shadow a student before applying, you won't regret it!
