The campus is beautiful with an awesome mix of interesting architecture and accessible nature - it's a 15min walk corner to corner, which is great. It's located in a great spot, about a mile away from the lake, 10mins to downtown, and local to many businesses and a variety of housing, ranging from literal slums to million dollar mansions. I absolutely love how diverse the campus and all of Milwaukee is, everyone is so different from one another but it blends together in such a comfortable way. I made some great friends here, people are very friendly. Just walking around campus was one of my favorite things to do.

The education however is subpar. It is worse than the community college I went to, I mean it is really bad. I took many classes here over the course of two years attending full-time with winter and summer break courses, and there was not a single professor who actually took the time to teach, besides one Iyengar yoga teacher I had. She was cool. Most professors were frenzied and openly stressed about budget cuts. They were clearly overwhelmed with work because of the cuts. I transferred to another school after taking a break and it's a night and day difference in quality of teaching.

I love Milwaukee and the school makes for a good experience, if you are okay with throwing away tons of money for mediocre classes...
