Urban campus, good location near downtown for internships and jobs. Fun basketball season, good reputation in the mid-west.

Marquette is well known outside of the region.

I went there! Good school. VERY focused on its pre-professional programs: physical therapy, physician assistant, speech pathology, athletic training, dentistry, communication/journalism, engineering, business, nursing. If your child is interested in those fields, it is a good option. I would not send a child there for a liberal arts field.

Milwaukee is a cool underrated city. Marquette neighborhood is a bit sketchy, and gets even sketchier when you go off campus (west is sketchy, east is downtown which is safe). Good sports tradition. Greek life is there for those who want it but not overpowering. They have had some financial issues in the past few years- something to look into. Religion is prominent but not overpowering- another "there if you want it, but you don't have to partake to fit in" type thing. Easy flight to MKE from DCA or BWI. Let me know if you have any other questions.

It’s known by people that live in illinois or Wisconsin and by people who watch college basketball

Sketchy? Thought the school was buying up land in the surrounding areas.

Probably known by some Catholic folks outside those two states. Basketball team still dining out in success from the 1970s.
