[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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. [/quote]

Sketchy?  Thought the school was buying up land in the surrounding areas. [/quote]
They are, but decades of generational poverty, violence, and lack of investment don't just disappear overnight because a college puts in some new buildings. [/quote]
It actually does look a lot better over there. Marquette has done a good job fairly quickly. [/quote]
I live a few miles away from Marquette's campus. It's OK. Better than it was 15 years ago, yes, but I stand by my original post that it's still not a great neighborhood. [/quote]

What's the neighborhood around Marquette? If I wanted to live within reasonable commuting distance to campus, but in a solidly safe area, where would that be?[/quote]
