University of Wisconsin Experience
I genuinely loved my expereince here! Good profs, culture, people, school spirit, etc. There is so much opportunity for whatever you want to do, such as research or study or work or internships! And building relationships with professors is also incredibly easy (and important!)
EXCELLENT NURSING UNIVERSITY
Is one of the best in terms of Nursing courses
University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee
The university is very average. Moral is low and people rarely communicate with each other. Academics are decent for some majors but for a science or engineering major the class es become very hit or miss. The classes for general science such as chemistry and biology felt unfocused and confusing for the content of the class. Homework rarely felt like it reflected the tests and was overly busy. The school itself offers great opportunities for studying within the city of Milwaukee and abroad. Though there is low turnout for many events the school attempts to create plenty of events and activities for students to enjoy.
Student services
Athletics programs, student government, campus newspapers and student organizations can be found on every UW Colleges campus.
