Is UWM the Right Fit?

Why UWM
As an urban research institution, UWM has a distinctive character that may not quite be traditional, but has a lot to offer the modern student.

Why Milwaukee
Once known as the “Athens of the Midwest,” the city has outsized cultural, sports and entertainment opportunities — and, of course, more jobs than any other place in the state.

Visit Campus
The best way to get a feel for the campus location, facilities and people is to come see for yourself.

Housing
The university has excellent on-campus housing, and we work hard to make sure our students and their neighbors get along.

Safety
The UWM campus lies in one of Milwaukee's safest neighborhoods, but many offices are working together to take a comprehensive approach to student safety and well-being.
