    Alum : Marquette university IS a pretty acidemic school and you do receive a great education. Campus is cool because there are tons of houses around campus each with their own name that have parties and are super fun to live in with friends once you move "off campus"! Milwaukee is an awesome city I was honestly surprised/ impressed coming from LA . We have the most bars per square ft of any city in America that you WILL frequent as an upperclassman. The city has tons of festivals and Summerfest that happen on closed-off streets. It's a big beer city so you WILL end up going on every brewery tour and its awesome. A lot of seniors do peddle taverns and bike ones where you basically take a bar on wheels or in the water that your group of like 7 peddles with their feet while they serve you drinks . I was in greek life and had a great time, its not anything like the south but its still a good time and I would recommend it. You do not need to be greek at Marquette most people actually aren't

    Niche User : I attended a summer program and was very pleased with the university! The admissions staff were some of the nicest people I've ever met. They genuinely want to see students succeed and are more than willing to help students reach their goal of getting into college, even if it's not Drexel. They are always there ready to answer any questions you have and ease your fears. I went into Drexel's College Access Academy not knowing a single thing about college, scared out of my mind. I came out with total confidence and ready to conquer the college application process. It was all thanks to the admissions and other staff members at Drexel. However, the one minor thing I would change is the food. The food at their main dining hall was really poor quality and sometimes cold. This often left me and my fellow peers wanting to skip the meal.
