What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
Dear Erick,
Don't go to a college based on its name. Just because it may sound great on your resume in the future wont make a world of difference if you absolutely hate it there and eventually drop out.
Don't let others make your decision so they can display you as some sort of trophy to brag about. I cannot emphasize this enough but this is YOUR future, and although they may not be content with your decision for a bit, they will come around and be absolutely PROUD of you when you finish your career.
Pick a place where you'd think you'd be happy, whether that's a place that only offers a two year program, or whether it's situated out of state or even out of the country, don't be scared and go to a place that best suits the type of person you are.

What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?
One thing I'm disappointed in school is the class atmosphere. Many people kept to themselves, barely talked to others. When I did try to make conversations, many times people would only either just smiled, or gave short replies. This made me dread to go to classes since there were nothing much exciting to look forward to, other than the subject of the class.

What is your overall opinion of this school?
My overall opinion of UWM is positive.
I think that the University of Wisconsin: Milwaukee's best asset is it's teachers. Although I am only a freshman, I have been very impressed with my professor's love for the subject they are teaching. I think that the University has so many resources for students to explore things they love. There selection of clubs is wide, and if you can't find one it is very easy start one of your own.

What is the stereotype of students at your school? Is this stereotype accurate?
Milwaukee is considered to be a back up school by many. It usually doesn't even register on people's radar most of the time. Because of Milwaukee's diverse background, it's seen as a school full of people from a wide range of backgrounds. I have found that most people going to UWM are from the Midwest (Twin Cities, Illinois, Ohio, and Wisconsin).
To be blunt: I think it attracts a lot of hicks.

Tell us about the sports scene on campus.
Basketball and all the other sports are rather big like swimming. The sports people whom I have met are a bit stuck up.
Um..we don't have a football team, (and henceforth a marching band). A ton of students think (rumor mill) that it's because UW-Madison, pays the university for not having one, which not only makes a lot of students mad, but also you can see that our "team spirit" or "school spirit" suffers for it as well. But if you and you're clique don't really hear about games, or are into sports, then it's really not a part of your life. It's kinda sad, but that's just the way it is.
