It is overwhelmingly white and a great majority of students hail from the affluent suburbs of Chicago. Students of different socioeconomic and racial backgrounds will have a harder time fitting in. Lousy club sports programs coupled with poor athletics means that the best chances for extracurricular activities will be found in neighborhood bars and house parties. This is Milwaukee and campus life revolves around the bottle; the sober need not apply. Academics are mediocre and the general sense is that Marquette is little more than a good place for the wealthy to send their offspring for babysitting until their trusts kick in. In keeping with a fine Jesuit tradition, the campus rests in a somewhat troubled neighborhood and if not for the exhaustive efforts of a large public safety force crime against students would be a real problem. Marquette does everything possible to maintain an overly appealing image and even a visit will be misleading, facts about the university are closely censored even among students and parents.

I came here hoping to do pre-med or pre-dental. After taking the horrible science courses at Marquette, I can say that I doubt I will be either. I came from a very highly regarded high school and took a lot of AP courses. Unfortunately, none of my courses prepared me for the depressing science department at Marquette. Don't come here thinking that you'll "ace" the chem or bio intro courses because you won't. The tests are confusing and designed to make you do poorly. I'm still tryng to locate someone who got an "A" in either my bio or chem classes last semester. The safety situation is also worth mentioning. Although I believe the Department of Public Safety (DPS) tries hard, there have been an absolutely alarming number of armed robberies on campus in the last month. In one case, two freshmen guys walking to their dorms around midnight were abducted at gunpoint and forced to drive around while the armed robbers attempted to use their ATM cards. The freshmen were beaten and the robbers threatened to kill them. I heard one of them had broken teeth. You cannot go more than a block north of campus (area starts getting really bad), westward is an area known as "crack alley", and south of campus is Latin King (Hispanic gang) territory. I'm from a larger city myself but the level of gun violence in the areas around Marquette is shocking. On a positive note, I've really liked the history and psychology profs I've had and I've met some good friends here. The students who go to Marquette are great.

Many of the classes will give almost only "B" grades or slightly lower, with very few "A"s. Many of the science classes are designed to "weed out" students, yet I don't know of anyone who is doing well in the sciences. Chemistry is especially awful, with lectures largely being the teachers going over problems. When I say this, however, I mean that the teachers write out how they would do the problems on the board, with little explanation as to how they got the final answer. The key is to copy down EVERYTHING written on the board, and then to figure out the steps that they took. The social life at Marquette is great, but there is little to do on campus on weekends. Not being much of a party girl, I find that I am often forced to find my own way to have fun with my friends on the weekend, since Marquette provides so little. Fortunately, Milwaukee is a big city, and there are often events taking place in the city. All in all, I would not return here if I had the choice to redo the last couple years of my life.
