[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do most students live on campus all 4 years?[/quote]
no, you are required to live on campus for 2 years and then most live off campus junior and senior year. they do offer some apartment-style on-campus living for junior & senior students, but it's not guaranteed.[/quote]

Does it get immediately "sketchy" once off of campus?  Where do most of the off campus kids live?[/quote]
Here's a map of the area. https://www.google.com/maps/@43.039166,-87.9323519,745m/data=!3m1!1e3 It depends which way you are going off campus. Going west, it gets sketchy pretty quickly. Generally most try to stay east of 23rd or 24th streets. North of Campus, State Street is pretty much the cutoff of "Marquette bubble" and "super sketch." Anything east of campus is perfectly fine- downtown, the Eastside, Third Ward, Bayview...all very nice neighborhoods with restaurants, bars, etc. that are draws for students. The area directly south of campus is an interstate and then just industrial areas.

Most of the off campus kids live very close to campus...kind of a rectangle that is roughly bounded by the low 20s Streets on the west, 6th street to the east, and State Street on the North. So basically "on campus" but not classified as that because the buildings aren't owned by the university. Some will move closer to downtown Milwaukee or the Lower East Side (more interesting neighborhoods IMO) but not a ton.[/quote]
