Marquette University Top Questions

The amount of money it costs to go here.

Like many schools, there is a good amount of students here who are immature and have yet to realize how important a good education is. As an engineering major, my classes require a lot of hard work and concentration, and the less focused students on campus can get very frustrating when they are disruptive.

The most frustrating thing about Marquette is the difficulty of transportation. The only reasonable way to get around Milwaukee is by bus, and the bus system is complicated and even a little frightening.

Perhaps one of the most frustrating things about Marquette is the requirement for freshmen and sophomores to live in a residence hall and to purchase a meal plan, in the case that they do not live within 30 miles of home and do not choose to commute. While the school is simply looking out for the safety of students (specifically those who are under the age of 21), the problem is that the room and board is very costly, bringing forth financial hardships. It's frustrating knowing that I am paying $1200 a month to live and eat on campus.

The most frustrating thing about Marquette University is the location. Since it is near an unstable part of town, there is not much to do on the weekend nights. There are not a lot of different activities to do unless it involves partying. Another problem is the weather; I am from the midwest, but it is so windy and very cold.

The most frustrating thing about Marquette University is how many intelligent people attend it. It is difficult to keep up with the mental capabilities of the students there and is frustrating for average students.

Every student pays a lot of money to go to Marquette, and although both the education and the experience is worth the hefty price tag, many students frown upon the living arrangements they are forced into. Students are required to live in dorms both freshman and sophomore years, coupled with a non-optional meal plan. The dorms come with less than ideal visitation restrictions, and the dorm food is sub-par.

The cost.

The most frustrating thing about Marquette is the parking. Still, it isn't terrible.

The most frustrating thing about Marquette is the cost. Being a private institution, it costs a lot of money to go there. And, don't get me wrong, I absolutely love it and wouldn't want to attend anywhere else. But I don't recieve as much financial aid/scholarship money as I'd like and I am a very involved and hardworking student. It's just frustrating that they don't lower the costs or offer more money for people who work hard and are struggling to pay for their tuition.
