I like that you can do some things hang out with friends, explore the city while being in school! I would like to see the buildings and houses renovated and nice looking.

It's only my second semester, but my experience has been fairly good so far. I prefer the in-person classes to the completely online classes. Almost all of my teachers so far have been very friendly and accommodating. Most of my classes have been very fun, and I've enjoyed learning the content. I work on campus, and my boss is very accommodating and friendly, and she made it a lot easier for me to adjust to both college life and working. Working on campus allows me to choose my schedule of classes and then send my schedule to my boss and they'll figure out a work schedule for the next semester so you're not scheduled during a class or right before a class. My experience so far has been pretty pleasant.

My experience with University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee is great. I'm a new freshman, recently accepted and I must say that the way UWM community welcomes an individual is amazing. I love the diversity in the campus. The admission department and the scholarship department have my respect for providing quick feedbacks. I'm amazed and thrilled to join!
