Not so bright
Plenty of these negative comments here are arbitrary. For example, those calling it an "average" education, I would love to know what barometer they are using to compare MU to other colleges. Those who are complaining about tough grading policies at MU probably belong at community college. I got A's, many people I know got A's. Not everything you will be tested on will be in included in lecture, that is why you are assigned texts to read. Do it and you will be fine.
Some critiques are fair, recreation in Milwaukee is largely based on alcohol. Alcohol is a major presence on campus. If you are not from the upper midwest, I am from California, the winter can be overwhelming, but you cope. The student body is largely from the Chicago or Milwaukee suburbs, but there are students from all over the country. The comments here that call the students snobby or elitist are out of thin air. Just the other day in my graduate seminar, there was a discussion about how the friendliness of the students and faculty at MU was bordering on becoming a negative. If you make the slightest effort you will make great friends.
As for the value of the education, the name Marquette carries more weight in Wisconsin and Chicago than elsewhere, but it is nationally recognized. The alumni network is amazing, MU grads really do stick by each other. If you are working in southeast asia (like someone who posted earlier), you should not expect the university to be recognized. I doubt 90% of American universities will be recognized.
Over all, Marquette will give you a great education and you will have the time of your life, but you'll have to spend some bucks.

Marquette is a great school. Don't read into some of these reviews too much. If you want to make Marquette or any school work for you, then put the effort in and you will get the effort out.

Marquette University is a great school, but i advise to get involved with the campus right away. As soon as you enter the campus and get your dorm get involved with student activities because otherwise you will be bored.

Marquette University was were I was bond to go after my parents went there. The students that I have met have made this university much more fun. The campus is beautiful and large, but easily accessible. The teachers made me feel like they were always here to help me with my problems in class and out of class. The student body was a group of interesting people. Overall I high recommend this school because of the way teachers and students care about you.
