University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Top Questions

Safety has been a major issue at UW-Milwaukee especially over the past few years. With the falling economy we have noticed an increase of crimes especially ones targeting college students on and around campus. It is defiintely something we need to improve on because safety should be a top priority on and surrounding campus.

There are way too many people who think that to have a good time, students have to drink alcohol.

Large class size; sometimes TA's aren't properly prepared or even speak the language well enough to effectively teach.

I would describe the parking scenerio at UWM the worst thing. However, they do offer many alternatives, like free shuttles placed around the city. That is the only bad thing I can say right now, I am completely satisfied with my education and surroundings at this school.

It is one of the more expensive schools to attend

I consider the lack of school spirit to be the worst thing about my school. Our sports teams have no fan base, and students are not willing to go out to the events. The best time for our school to come together does not exist.

The Teachers pile on quite a bit of homework, if your majoring in the arts. It's sometimes stressful to keep up a social life and when you are always doing your homework. Many hours are spent on campus in the art labs, or off-campus doing art homework.

The worst thing about UW-Milwaukee is the fact that students tend to get lost in the general population. It can be very hard to schedule an appointment with an advisor from your program and often times they don't give very good advice. I was told to take a few courses that didn't even count toward my degree and I felt like I was wasting time and money.
