University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Top Questions

Its very easy to get off the school path and head more towards the social path. The area in which school is located is very social lots of bars and other places to be social. And school in general promotes a lot of social interactions with other students. And of course its always easier to put off homework and go hangout with friends.

The worst thing about the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is it's size. Although the campus is seems fairly condensed due to it's city location it is actually quite large and it is easy to get overwhelemed or lost in the crowd.

Possibly access to resources, but I have not started yet.

I don't know if this is the worst thing about my school, but the dorms are suite-style dorms which are great. The bad thing is the residents tend to stay in their room or suite and don't get out and talk to other people. It makes it harder to meet everyone on your floor unless you happen to meet them another way. It almost seems as if each suite is isolated from another. So the only thing that I didn't like was not knowing anyone outside of my suite.

Despite how much I love my school; there is one thing that I’ve noticed in my short time attending there. My school is very segregated. I say this because you usually see people of the same race clustered and separated from other ethnic groups. I understand that some races choose not to mix because they don't want to lose their customs, but this is America; the Melting Pot. Being a young black male raised among many nationalities, I absolutely despise the sight of such a thing. I have no racial preference in my associates.

The worst thing about the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is distance between the dorms of Cambridge and Riverview to campus. Although the university provides a good mode of transportation to and from the campus and academic buildings, it is sometimes difficult to experience all the campus events when living farther from the main campus.

The food in the cafeteria isn't the greatest other wise I love the school.

Some of the buildings (like Bolton) are a tad bit out-date. There's poor lighting, loud vents, small rooms and older material. The desks are falling apart and the professer has nowhere to present his/her lesson.

The worst thing about this school might be the danger factor. Frequently students get mugged around the campus at night. Therefore, it is important to be careful and take precaution when going out at night.

I'd have to say that the worst thing about UW-Milwaukee is the extensive use of alcohol by students. The school isn't extremely academically difficult by any means, but there are many students that still struggle due to problems managing their priorities.
