The area. Milwaukee is known for crime.

I have been to two other colleges before UWM, and both offered an excellent education. But one thing I noticed about the instructors here is that they rely too heavily on power-points. It makes for a dry class, with a lack of teacher to student interaction. I can understand using power-points due to the sheer number of students in some of the classes offered here, but the classes I'm talking about only contain about 15-30 people. They need to engage with students more, especially in classes that are for your major.

Personally, the thing I disliked the most about UW-Milwaukee was the lack of helpfulness. Every professor I went to, or Advisor I met with couldn't give me a straight answer. Rather, they pointed me in someone elses direction. It was completely frustrating, and discouraging.

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is brutally cold, especially this winter, and having to always walk outside on campus to various buildings becomes quite cold.

the campus is quite large and the classrooms are hard to find

Some unhappy professors take out their frustrations on students.

The only major obstacle I have run into with this school is the prices of some of the services. I will not be able to go home very often, because my family cannot afford for me to get a parking pass on campus, so I can't bring a car. The school does offer free bus passes to students, though, so I can travel for free within the city limits. Ultimately, it's really important for me to be able to go home when I need to, and the cost of parking spaces makes that almost impossible.

The worst thing about the my school is that it has turned into a hugely research based school; which has led to certain other programs suffering from a lack of funding . As a result students are choosing other schools over this one and the enrollment numbers are lessening.

Sometimes I feel as though the school is more focused on receiving money than it is worried about the students that it has. There have been some administration problems regarding housing that made it pretty bad for some of my friends and myself. The administration does not seem to care that much about its students in my opinion, but that my change depending on who it is assisting. Also, the shuttle system for the off-campus dorms is not very effective. Sometimes it takes a long time for the shuttles to come and you could be late for class.
