My school is best known for creating students that are men and women for others through the unique Jesuit education that is offered at Marquette.

My school is best known for its excellence in academics, religious affiliations, and its basketball team of course! The school has a fun atmosphere and every student seems very proud to be a member of the Marquette community.

One of my favorite traditions on campus is Marquette Madness, which is an event for the whole school/student season ticket holders. All of the NBA players will come back and you get introduced to the "team" although the majority of them are returning students. There is music, and some fun competitive contests for free swag. Great time!

It still gives me chills when each men's basketball game starts with the little video and inspirational music. If you're going through your typical "Marquette isn't right for me" stage, go to a basketball game! It has the utmost sense of community. We also have fun little traditions at the games, like ripping up and tossing your ticket at the first shot, the nasty cheers to the opposing teams, and OF COURSE the Jump Around Guy, a legend really. Between the third and fourth quarters, "Jump Around" is played and the jumbo-tron immediatley closes in on a MU alum, probably late 40s and typically dressed in a nice suit and tie, dancing to the song like an idiot. Perhaps one of my fondest memories at Marquette!

Marquette is best known for its prestige as a private university. It provides students with an excellent liberal arts education and pre-professional programs that prepare students not only for future careers, but for life. Aside from outstanding academics, Marquette is well-known for its athletics. NBA Miami Heats player Dwayne Wade was once a golden eagle at Marquette. At Marquette, everyone has strong school spirit. As our motto goes, WE ARE MARQUETTE! :)
