Things to Consider
Marquette University
- 1 CRITICAL: Milwaukee climate with only 189 sunny days/year and long, gray, cold winters (November-March) directly conflicts with student's love of sunshine
- 2 Nature access limited to urban parks and lakefront - lacks mountains or dramatic hiking opportunities
- 3 High cost of attendance ($64,000+) with average graduate debt of $38,000
- 4 Some introductory classes reach 40-50 students despite overall good ratio
- 5 Moderate economic diversity (18% Pell Grant) may feel homogeneous
- 6 Strong Midwest regional focus may limit geographic diversity
