Marquette University Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Marquette University? Why?

Lauren

The worst thing about Marquette is that it is a big enough school that there do happen to be lecture halls with 200+ students. This is especially true for classes that are general education or early undergraduate classes.

Megan

The cost is the worst thing about Marquette University. Though Marquette does offer good financial aid, it is still an expensive school.

Tobin

The worst thing at Marquette University is the fact that the student has to take care of every little academic responsibility from registering for classes to meeting with teachers. There is very little service that college provides for students to officially register or officially enroll in class . There is no guiding hand even from the advisor because the student has to figure everything out for themselves. Sometimes proffesors dont teach, the student has to teach themselves to succede. In college everything that the student does or does not do independently can affect their academic career and their future.

The worst thing about school is the cold winters. I am aware that the flaw is just a matter of location and weather, and that the problem can be fixed by putting on extra layers, but campus is a lot more beautiful in the spring and fall seasons.

Dana

Currently, I think the worst thing about Marquette University is lack of financial aid for students who are in programs that last longer than four years. I am a current senior who will be pursuing a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree until 2012. There are a variety of undergraduate scholarships, but few, if any, awards that are sanctioned for students in more involved programs. I consider this the worst thing about the school because the stress of wondering how I will pay for tuition is putting a damper on my experience at the school.

Katrina

It seems like an obvious answer, and yet something that many people do not consider when looking at their possible college choices. The worst thing about Marquette University is the weather. The teachers are wonderful, the classes interesting, but the weather is inescapable. No one knows winter until they have lived through a Milwaukee winter, temperatures plummet and the wind whistles through every gap in every window, door, and article of clothing.

Aaron

In the middle of winter it gets really cold, so walking to and from class can be a pain

Gregory

The worst thing about Marquette University is the high tuition because it inhibits students, who are capable of learning at high levels, the right to a good education just because they are limited financially. If more financial aid was available, more students would have the opportunity to persue a degree at Marquette University.

Rebecca

At Marquette there is nothing that is all that horrible. There are strict rules on housing. People have to be out by a certain time and they will enforce it unlike other schools. It is a pain, but we all know that it is for safety and liablity purposes. Other than that it is a decent school.

Beware of the weather - Milwaukee's winters make it hard to find motivation to attend classes in the cold, so don't be tricked to just staying in your dorm. You NEED to attend class to do well. Also, as a freshman remember that the initial adjustment process might take longer than you had originally intended (especially if you attend somewhere that is drastically different from your home town). Allow for this, and try not to be intimidated by it. You're surrounded by hundreds of other young adults in the same situation - take advantage of meeting new people!
