Location. UWM is situated in one of the best areas of Milwaukee; need something to eat? Go to Oakland Gyros or to any of the other various places near for a bite to eat. Looking for entertainment? The Miramar Theater is just a few blocks away, and the Pabst just one bus away. Looking to spend the day admiring history and art? Take a stroll to the lakefront to visit the Art Museum, or take a bus downtown and visit the Milwaukee Public Museum. If you enjoy an urban ambiance, you will certainly enjoy the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee.

The best thing about UW-Milwaukee is the diversity. Being a minority, I felt that it was important for me to find a college that I would feel comfortable in. At UW-Milwaukee, you feel accepted and there are so many resources to help you along the way. It's exciting and an eye opener seeing different people from different states, even countries! I feel that I can relate to a lot of people on several different levels; rather it be culture, food, music, fashion and style, make up- anything really!

My favorite thing about UWM is its location. It is located near Lake Michigan in Wisconsin's biggest city. There is alot of things to do on campus and in the city because Milwaukee is not only a college town.

It is a large university but located in a compact space for the most part. The school has been expanding in recent years which means housing and classrooms have moved off the main campus.

The best thing about UWM is the campus. The campus is beautiful, and is in a great location.

I think the best thing about this school is the research opporunities. They are not advertised for that well but if you seek them out yourself there are quite a few opporutnities available, and research with a professor is a great way to get good recommendation letters!

I would definitely have to say the best thing about my school is the friendly atmosphere. Often times, people are so subject to staying within the box, not being themselves. But at my school, there's no way to do that. You have all types of colors, races, and backgrounds. In life you have to adjust. You have to play the hand you're dealt, and because of my diversity I can now go beyond the barriers that society has unfortunately tried to place before me. That's the best thing about my school.

The best thing about the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee are the numerous opportunities found on campus for academics and organizations. These opportunities help students at UWM discover who they are and what they are interested in. Joining clubs or taking classes that are related closely to your interests helps students link to others with similar interests. The various opportunities found on campus also help students to reach out to the community and broaden their outlook on life.
