Marquette University review by Maider
HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? because the apartment where me and my mates lived where the best places to live in Milwaukee. On one hand, the cost of the apartment was pretty good comparing with other accomodations you could find. And on the other hand, they had the advantage of being furnished, which was one of the main problems of other accomodations, and a factor which would have supposed more expenses.
Moreover, they were pretty close from the campus.
Personal comments:
As I have already said before, I was really happy with the accomodation we got in Marquette. Actually, for these apartments there was a long waiting list, so this must mean that it was the first place where students wanted to live during their stay in Milwaukee.

STUDENT LIFE
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Activities, Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment Personal comments:
One of my favourite places in Milwaukee was Brady Street, in the east of Milwaukee. In this side of the city you could find many cool stores, shops and coffe places and bars. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
ACADEMIC
4.5 / 5
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
In general every course was very good. actually, which I liked most were the teachers and their way of teaching, for some of them, it was quite different from which I have received in my university. I loved how Marketing was taught there, Dennis Garret was one of the best teachers Iīve ever had.

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't. How much did you improve your English?
My level before: At ease in most situations My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang) Personal comments:
Before going to Marquette, I was wondering how I was going to make to study and attend the courses in English. But I was happy to see that I didnīt have any problems to understand my teachers, neither to make essays and study in English.- This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
EXPENSES
The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
Family Other sources of funding:
Personal savings An ERASMUS grant Work opportunities:
I worked during my study abroad experience Personal spending habits:
I guess that the main factor that made me spend more than in my host country was the exchange rate between my currency and the $, otherwise the prices would have been similar. Food, Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Telephone, Housing: was more expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
So as to help with my expenses there, I looked for a job on campus, wich was what my visa permitted me. I got a Job in the academic support facilities of the university, called Students Office Loan Account. The students working there had administrative responsabilities, but, at least, I was able to see how they worked there; how the american students support themselves while studying, a big difference from how it is in my country.

Personal recommendation:
I really liked it, so I give a high recommendation to people so as to go there if they have the chance to. I know that warmer places sound better, but this place has other advantages, and anyway, itīs not as cold as it might be thought. FINAL COMMENTS
