Marquette University Top Questions

What's the most frustrating thing about Marquette University?

Erica

Everything is done in excess, this is a work hard play hard school.

That tuituon is so high. Marquette University is a fantastic school, but we pay so much more than other universities, and the book store is highway robbery. You pay $200 for books and you only get $80 when you sell them back, its awful.

Lacey

The hardest thing in my freshman year was getting used to the different teaching style of each professor and actually understanding each teacher I think I overstudied sometimes and was overstressed because I am in a program that has a minimum GPA that has to be maintained. Not having time to really relax was frustrating since I spent literally every waking moment at the library, not really taking time to work out or do things that would relieve the stress and probably help me study in a more effective way.

Megan

How credits are dispursed is frustrating. A four hour lab only adds one credit to a class, meaning I spend a lot of time in class without being adequately reimbursed with credits.

Kaitlyn

The most frustrating thing about school is the tuition. The tuition is just under $40,000 a year and paying for college on my own, I hold the school very accountable for my experience. Since I am paying so much, I wish the professors would put the same effort into grading papers so we could get an education that is worth the $40,000 that we are paying. This semester I had great professors and not-so-great professors, for an expensive school, all of the professors should be top notch.

Therese

I have found that the most frustrating thing at my school is the underrepresentation of many ethnic and social groups. Most people at Marquette are white, Christian, middle to upper class people. We have few Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians. We have hardly any non-Christians. Due to our high tuition, we have basically no students from a low socioeconomic class. I would like to see better diversity on campus because I believe that is important to surround yourself with all types of people.

Justin

The most frustrating part is scheduling classes for the semester.

Nicole

The most frustrating part of my school is the lack of a college football team, being that many of the male population of Marquette comes from Jesuit or Catholic high schools that have great football teams. This may seem trivial and irrelevant, but many students on campus do get upset about no longer having a football team. However, in order to make up for this issue, Marquette students thrive for the student section of Marquette basketball games.

Lauren

The most frustrating aspect regarding Marquette is the lack of a football team. I am in the Physical Therapy program and am also pursuing Athletic Training, so it is frustrating that our school does not have this sport that we can work with. We are able to go to the surrounding high school to work with their football teams, it is just a great experience to be able to work with and support your school and its athletes.

Aaron

People don't drink a lot, but when they do, they tend to put a major emphasis on it. So that is the only thing they think about for that night
