University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee? Why?

Nicholas

The majority of dorms could be bigger...most recently opened dorm/apartments have addressed these issues. Also, too much fast food places on campus and cafeteria food is not the best. Would be nice if they offered more fresh, healthy choices.

The worst thing about the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee would be when classes are graded by the teaching assistants and not the actual professor. I find this difficult as a student because the teachers expectations are often different than that of a teaching assistant.

The worst thing I consider about my school is COST. Everything is so high from the food, clothes ,ectera to the Tuition and Resident Hall living; that is why right now I am looking for many scholarships to help me. I dont want to be i dept once i graduate about 7 years from now!

Orlando

The fresfman students. They have a high school mentality.

Academic advising isn't always the friendliest and many teachers grade far to harsh. Also, for student who have transfered it can be very difficult to make friends. Unless you have attended freshman orientation, getting to know people can be difficult and take time. There are not many hand-on group projects in classes so, it is also harder to get to know people in your classes until you start to work strictly on your major.

Andrea

The amount of drinking that occurs as well as the spurt of neighborhood crime that has been going on lately

Brandon

I would say the scale of the campus is pretty large. Sometimes it takes 15 minutes to get between classes, and when its -3 degrees outside its even worse. Thats not even mentioning if you are carrying a large amount of books that day.

Dorm food. I don't mean the taste of the food but the size of your portion and the price for that portion. The quality is decent but the price you pay is too much compared to the qualitiy of the food. Being an athlete its hard to eat all the food that my body needs while still not spending a ton on dorm food. A typical dorm dinner for me will cost $8 which I think and many others think is way too much.

I consider the worst thing about my school to be the recreational choices students make. There is a massive amount of drinking on campus, and there have been a few instances of pharming parties. During one such party in 2009, a freshman died due to overdosing on a combination of prescription drugs and alcohol. Many students also choose to party and drink rather than study. I often feel that many of my peers are not very interested in learning, and view college as a time to simply have fun. This is not what college should be about.

The worst thing about UW-Milwaukee would probably be the amount of classes a student is required to take that do not seem necessary. These requirements can become bothersome especially when a student it focused on graduating as fast as they can for financial reasons, etc.
