Review of University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee

from Franklin, WI

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

Some of the classes are very fast paced and the information is pounded in your head. Professor to student interaction is limited with larger class sizes. Smaller classes, discussions, and labs are much more beneficial and more conducive to learning.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

It is okay. The campus is not too overwhelming for a first year student switching school settings, from smaller to larger. My classes are interesting, and the professors seem to be very knowledgeable about the subjects they teach. There is lots to do on campus each day, with events being held constantly every day, every week. Off campus in the nearby neighborhoods there is also much to do and see. Being a commuter student is a bit tougher, as you will spend time going back and forth between campus, and will also not be able to do much activities when you are not there.

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

UWM is cheaper than most schools. It is very affordable, especially those that have a limited source of income.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Apply for as many scholarships as possible for school. Whether it is $100, or $1000, every little bit helps. Also, be sure to get your information and everything sent in by the deadlines so that you are not feeling like you are behind everyone else.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Students who like an urban setting will love the campus, as it is near many different places. Campus is only a few blocks from several different restaurants. A few blocks away is the lake, as well as a few parks and beaches.
