Marquette is definitely best known for its security. Although probably not one of the highest priorities on a senior high school student's list when considering schools, it's something I've unquestionably learned to appreciate. With free transportation service around campus, strict check-in policies for the dorms, and surplus of DPS officers readily available, driving and even walking around campus all night, these are just some of the features that have made me feel undeniably safe at Marquette. Perhaps not such an exciting characteristic, but hey, if it helps me make it through school alive, I'm glad.

I think Marquette is best known for its family legacies and traditions - besides basketball, that is! It seems that the vast majority of students you ask here will say that one of their parents attended Marquette also. I also think that Marquette is known for preparing students for high-paying professional careers like lawyers, dentists, engineers, business executives, and that the network of alumni help those graduates get connected in the outside world.

I think Marquette is well known for producing hard working and intelligent leaders who genuinely try to do the right thing. Last year, there was much attention made of the fact that the Milwaukee mayor was beaten at the State Fair when he tried to intervene in a domestic violence situation. It is not surprising that the mayor was a Marquette graduate, since many mayors, governors and legislators from the state are, but it is also not surprising that a Marquette graduate would not stand by when an injustice was taking place.

Kurtis

I don't know exactly what my school is best known for. However, I know exactly why I love it. I don't enjoy classrooms that have a large capacity of students, and I never have to worry about that. Unlike students at larger, more prestigious colleges, I have the opportunity to have one on one personal relationships with my instructors. Aside from the smaller classes, the staff and advisors all throughout the campus are very helpful. There are endless reasons why I love my school, but I can only say so much with a one hundred word limit.

Marquette University is best known for it's strong emphasis on the Ignatian teachings and Jesuit principles. Students are encouraged to become involved in their community while exploring their faith and working to be Men and Women for Others. Many students uphold these teachings by volunteering in the community through various service organizations and by volunteering on their own.

That includes outstanding academic success and also achievement in future careers and within the surrounding community. Being apart of Marquette's community does not only include a sense of belonging on campus, but also in a relationship with current, past and future Marquette leaders that will surround us for the rest of our lives. After all, "we are Marquette."
