University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Top Questions

I think UW-Milwaukee would be a great school for anyone looking to meet new people from different countries and states, get support on what you decide to do in life. UW-Milwaukee is a great school for those wanting to see the world from a different perspective. To be honest, I feel that UW-Milwaukee has something for almost everyone out there.

The only person that might not want to attend this school are those who are not serious about there studies. Professors want to see you succeed but if you don't put in any effort then you will fail. This school does its best to include everyone and has many events and activites to encourage social interaction between students.

The kind of person that is really conservative and doesn't like change because this school exposes it's students to different cultures, activities and expects the students to respect other people's choices. Enrolled students should be prepared to try new things and be open to learn things not in their curriculum or else they won't get the full experience that the school tries to provides.

I think UWM fits most people well. There are people of all ages and backgrounds at the school.

I think the person that should not attend this school is someone that is looking for a small town personal experience. Though the professors are very friendly and willing to help a lot of the classes are very large and unless you attend office hours it would not be possible to have a relationship with your professors. The campus is also in a very large city.

The kind of person who shouldn't attend this school is the kind of person who doesn't like to socialize or a lot of people.

Neither people yet to graduate high school nor people who are already successful in their life goals or careers should attend this school.

someone looking for a football career

Someone who thinks that they are going to be able to not go to class and still get throught. Although I would not say that this school is extremely demanding, it does require attendance for many of its classes.

Anyone who is afraid of diversity, shouldn't come to this school! UWM is a very diverse school. There are are people with a wide variety of backgrounds. Also a person who isn't comfotable with a lot of people.

Students who aren't serious about doing well in their courses shouldn't come to this school. Many of the classes are very challenging and require a lot of work outside the classroom.

Students who want to go to a smaller college with less students and smaller class sizes. Students who prefer to be close to the professor should chose a different school.

Someone who is afriad of responsiblity. Uwm gives a student alot of resposiblity and alot of freedom. You have to be mature and ready to handle paying the bills on time and having the motivation to go to class. Its alot of work but its worth it in the end.

If you are afraid of big cities and using public transportation to get around the city.

I have no opinion on this.

I think all people should give higher education a chance. Not everyone succeeds their first try with school, but everyone benefits from it. Some people learn better through apprenticeships. Even though one is not taking classes, they are still learning as if they were goign to school.

I would not recommend UW-Milwaukee to someone who feels uncomfortable with change or cities. This is because of peer interaction, distractions, and diversity. At UW-Milwaukee, there are many opportunities to develop relationships with your peers. However, it is impossible to know everyone. This could cause of a feeling of isolation. Milwaukee has a variety of entertainment; however this could be distracting for someone who does not enjoy the city. UW-Milwaukee also introduces students to new ideas, cultures, and opportunities. If someone is not willing to explore new ideas and change I would not recommend UW-Milwaukee.

Someone who isn't a self starter and needs to have a lot of attention paid to them too keep up with the course work.

Individuals who are intending to attend a small school in a rural area would not be satisfied with UW-Milwaukee. The class size can be extremely large, so again, those looking for more hands on, smaller class sizes should not attend Milwaukee. Milwaukee is a larger city, and one of the most diverse in the United States, therefore, not suitable for those who like smaller uniform cities.

An outgoing well driven person would fit in well here. Being outgoing is important because of the vast number of people that attend this school. Along with that, being well driven is very important because of the lack of connection between students and staff. It is important that students have enough drive because they do not get much personal motivation from faculaty.

School is school, and in general if a person doesn't like learning or does not want to succeed, they shouldn't attend college at all but the kind of people that shouldn't attend University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee are those who cannot deal with different kinds of people for example people of different race. People who like big campuses shouldn't attend University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee because the campus is rather small to keep the student body together.

People who like small classes, and who don't like diversity should not attend this school.

It's hard to say because our school is so diverse. In terms of ethnicity, I would go as far to say that everyone is welcome. Our school is pretty big in terms of number of people, and that isn't always for everyone. Some people prefer smaller schools. Other than that, I would say that everyone is welcome. Like I said before, the population at our school is so diverse it's kind of hard to image it not being so diverse.

Someone who doesn't want to learn.

The type of person that should attend UW Milwaukee is one who likes a diverse atmosphere. They should also like the urban town feel, and be open to new things. They should enjoy a active student body in extra-curriculars and a lively campus life on the weekends. People who want a career focused education should attend UW Milwaukee.

Those looking for out door life and campus sports. If you are looking to live in the dorm, it is VERY limited due to compact campus with no expansion space.

I think that if you are an undergraduate and you cannot balance yourself between drinking and homework you will have a problem getting good grades. UW-Milwaukee has a lot of undergraduates that bindge drink on the weekends and do not study the way that they should. Students need to get into a set routine.

I believe anyone can come to the University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee. There are so many types of people around campus, no one will feel alone or out of place. There are all different kinds of activities and groups to become involved in, it's hard to not make friends.

Someone who is intimidated by large groups of people shouldn't pursue UWM. Depending on your major, some classes are rather large, which can be scary for some. Typically, art and humanities fields have smaller classes which foster discussio. If your in a field regarding business or sciences, there will certainly be very large classes. So, if you want something more intimate and you're planning a science or business path, I wouldn't recommend UWM. Also, if you dislike the cold, do not come to Wisconsin.

Someone who is not interested in applying themselves to their schoolwork should not attend this school.

The type of person that should not attend this college is a type of person who does not like the big city life. Milwaukee university is a large and widely diverse college. The campus is not necessarily huge, but it is not small at all. There are several students attending the school. The city surrounding the campus is highly populated and busy. This is not a school for a student looking for a small atmosphere.

No kind of person should not attend this school.

Unmotivated people who dont really want to go to college. People who are only going to college because of their parents.

You shouldn't attend this school if you're looking for a strong sense of school spirit or tailgating for and the excitement of football games. If you're not a city person, don't come here. The downtown area is the only place to go for a good time. If you have a hard time being away from your family, and Milwaukee is far away, then don't come here--but that's true for any college.

A person who doesn't take school seriously should not attend college in general Being a member of this school to me means hard work and and sacrifice and for me it is the money. I see many people who don't take school seriously that have the money and it is frustrating to me having to struggle to take loans out when my heart is here.

If you want a big school atmosphere. If you want a downtown atmosphere.

People who think that everyone should be like them.

Students interested in fine arts and a community that exhibits a lot of culture; students that are not interested in drinking/partying every weeking, students who are not interested in sports, students who prefer smaller, discussion-based classroom settings

This campus is so widely diverse that almost anyone could find their niche. I couldn't think of any one type of person that wouldn't be able to find themselves at home somewhere around campus. Although, if they aren't dedicated to their school work and aren't willing to spend more time studying than they do in actual classes, this is not the place to be.

UWM is definitely a good fit for students who like to party. As a business major, my schooling is not extremely difficult. I put in a fair amount of work and excel, but I don't feel especially challenged. It's really fun here!
