What makes UW-Milwaukee unique compared to other schools would definitely be the relationship the entire Freshman class has. When I first got to UW-Milwaukee, I felt overwhelming welcomed by a ton of students. I also asked others how they felt, and they agreed. They also felt very welcomed, especially for UW-Milwaukee to have such a large student body.

What's unique about my school compared to other schools would be the many different kinds of clubs and activites. They have just about everything. They have soccer, tennis, floor hockey, football, volleyball and other sports for students to go in. They have a womens club, gay/lesbian club, American Indian club, anime club, and many other clubs I have yet to find out.

Alexandria

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee has one of the best architecture programs in the state. It also offers a master program for architecture, so I will be able to complete my schooling without having to transfer. After completing the master's program, I will have a greater chance of recieving a job because the school brings in architectural firm owner's to conduct interviews of the students. This school is also very culturally diverse which allows people to become more open minded and relate themselves to other cultures.

It's a bigger school. Having grown up in such a small town, I wanted a change. They also have the option of being the the Air Force ROTC which is something I have been considering.

UW-Milwaukee is a very diverse school - urban lifestyle. I come from a small town so to go to UW-Milwaukee is an adventure and an experience all in one that I don't feel I could have received from some of the other schools I was looking at.

Jackie

UW-Milwaukee was intriguing for me because of their extremely competitive nursing program/school. It's a very diverse school, in terms of both the types of programs that are offered and the crowd of students attending. Before coming to this school, I toured several others, and this had the best campus lay out and the seemingly the best insructors.

Gaochia

My school is unique because of it's cultural diversity. Whenever I'm on campus or when I'm walking to class, I see many different types of people, whether it's their skin color, the type of clothing they wear, or the language they speak.

Kaci

It is a large commuter school however, many students live off-campus and on-campus. The city isn't too large, and activites in the surrounding neighborhoods keep you entertained all year. The environment is very diverse in politics, religions, sexuality, gender, and socio-economic classes.

Brandon

There's not much to say really. I like the fact the bus takes me all the way there without any transfers. I think the open spaces between structures is kind of nice, as you feel more relaxed and comfortable.

Stefanie

The University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee has a great tutoring program. The tutors and the teachers' assistants are willing to work with students to satisfy the students' needs. They are willing to take extra time for the students to be comfortable with their knowledge as they prepare for tests and labs. The best thing about the school is that it has a fantastic group called Campus Crusades for Christ which is a Christian group that has lots of friends praying for everyone and their problems. The group is so supportive with the spiritual walk through life also.

Molly

UW-Milwaukee is located on the east side of Milwaukee in the middle of the luxurious lake shore drive area. Unlike many other schools, Milwaukee is strongly related to its local residents. This is due in part to its location, and UW-Milwaukee's history. The enrolle number is high and the campus size is small, which is to my liking. There is a diverse group of students, many of which are goal oriented, like myself. The numerous majors are specialized, making it competitive, as well as aiding in the work ethic of the students.

Our school is located in a residential area. We are close to down town. It wasn't a far move for me.

Eloiss

Professors who are the best in the business. Both large and small classes, allowing for variety.

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is a diverse campus with plenty of resources available to all students. For example, we have a first year learning center on campus to give information to the incoming freshman, and to ease them into the college experience. We have other things like a tutoring center to help students with any subject they may struggle with by placing them with a student expert in that area. Also, most of the teachers are compassionate and helpful with assignments and deadlines.

The housing is wonderful. The residence halls do a great job of getting students interacting and keeping them safe.

The location of the campus is very close to the city which is nice for activities and the overall size of campus is very cozy, and comfortable to most students. The facilities are up-to scale and the overall atmosphere feels like a college campus within the city of Milwaukee. There are always activites to do, and organizations to join.

Elizabeth

University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee is very unique in many ways. When you are on campus it feels like you are in your own college community, away form everything else because campus is so close together verus campuses you find yourself getting lost in because they are so big. Near by is Lake Michigan to swim, play beachvolleyball, and get the feel of a coast, but also only a bus ride away is downtown Milwaukee with shopping and the night life of a city. Also the diversity is huge, you are completely submerged in many different cultures.

Jessica

Reciprocity

Andrea

UW-Milwaukee has a large variety of ethnicities on campus that give a well-rounded cultural experience. Some of the classrooms are large, and can be overwhelming when someone first attends this college, but it gets easier with time. Most teachers are kind and understanding, as long as you make an effort in your school work. All the teachers give contact information if you need to reach them, and will respond by one way or another to accomodate your needs.
