University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee Reviews

"Overall, UW-Milwaukee is an expensive, but good school. I loved the campus and culture, but was often left disappointed by my marketing teachers - I learned more through internships than I ever did in class."

"Good school to go to. Expensive but good. Parking is a nightmare so be prepared to either pay or use the bus."

"UWM was an amazing college, and I am so happy and grateful I was able to go there. It was affordable, with great professors, and great programs. I strongly recommend going to a state school over a private college any day of the week. I'm even still good friends with a few of my Instructors. :)"

"I think it's difficult to rate this particular program. You can learn theories in class but nothing prepares you like actually going out and working with people. Advisors are terrible, I recommend going to the walk in advisory sessions and getting a student. Advisors have given false information that resulted in students not graduating in time. There's gen ed classes that are annoying that have nothing to do with anything you will need in life, but i suppose that is at all universities. Social work instructors are pretty good though."

"UWM had a plethora of opportunities and resources for each and every student; but I found the biggest advocate for my time there, was myself. The resources are there, only if you are willing to look for them and seek them out. College, especially UWM, taught me to be self-sufficient. No other person was in control of obtaining my degree beyond myself. The staff was helpful and highly qualified, but at the end of the day it was up to me to work hard and succeed. Beyond that, it was a beautiful campus, had great facilities, and a diverse student population. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee."

"Loved it! Nice campus, super walk-able. Professors are great--really into their subjects and very helpful."

"I was satisfied with the education opportunities available, however it is up to the individual student to make the most of the opportunities while there. You can go through the motions of learning the content and get your degree, however that isn't the best way to do it."

"The perfect program for my career goals. The faculty was open and constantly around, active in their research and that of their students. Course work lighter when compared to some other universities, but the program offers the student to follow a particular research path of their own creation and passion."

"Overall it is great university unless it does not have scholarships for international students."

"one of my graduate program advantages is you have the opportunity to get connected with your major advisor early in the program so that will help you to settle everything down and make the conceptual framework of your dissertation more logical. on the other hand, my school does not have that much fund to hire their graduate students as GAs and that put more stress on their lives."

"Good school and good internship opportunities. Campus safety isn't the best."

"The Masters accounting program is very intensive but will prepare you for a job. There are many opportunities for internships and jobs at this location. Downfall is campus safety, try parking at an on site parking lot to avoid walking through the streets."

"I am in my first semester of my program, and am so far very pleased. I feel as though I am receiving a valuable education and am being pushed to work at my highest capabilities. However, with the price of living being so high on and around campus, I am stuck living over a half hour away from campus and commuting to class each day. Even so, I feel as though I am receiving a well-rounded education and gaining life experience living in a diverse area."

"I am very pleased with the program I have entered into. The college life itself is very welcoming and friendly to all those who apply and join. I enjoy going to lectures because it gives you a new perspective on the whole college life. I have met many people and professors willing to go out of their way to help me accomplish goals."

"UWM feels smaller than you would initially expect. Class sizes are smaller and you get a one on one learning experience that you wouldn't expect in a larger city. Milwaukee is a great place to be and to learn! The English Dept. at UWM is superbwith many opportunities to use your smarts in and around Milwaukee."

"I feel the pros of my graduate program is that it is a great preparation for the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam and the professors are extremely helpful. The only con is the workload expected while working full-time."

"The professors in this department tend to be nasty, distant, and rather unhelpful."

"This is a great graduate program with plenty of support and resources."

"The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee has provided an excellent undergraduate program for majoring in Accounting & Finance and I look forward to an equally rewarding graduate program. From the excellent career services center to the extremely helpful faculty, UWM has provided me with all the needed resources and studies to have a successful career in Accounting."

"Pros: -Friendly staff who will help you when asked -Decent amount of scholarships are given -Many emails are sent out throughout the semester regarding internships and job openings -Bus pass is included with tuition Cons: -Work load is reasonable if you have great time -management skills -Scholarships are extremely competitive -On your own regarding jobs once out of school -Only un-subsidized loans are given to graduate students"
