The kids wanted to see the campus as part of their selection process. So we went and toured. It’s in the downtown part of the city. The campus is pretty nice especially the church.

I was really impressed with the school and the programs they offer. Located so close to the great downtown area of Milwaukee. Don't overlook this gem.

Fun campus in the middle of Milwaukee. I had a tour of the campus today and it was beautiful and you could feel the energy of the campus. Very enjoyable.

A fine campus and college in the Avenues West neighborhood of the city. If you’re a tourist visiting Milwaukee and you (or your children) aren’t enrolled at Marquette, the only reason you’d probably take the 10-minute bus ride/25-minute walk out here from downtown would be to visit the free Haggerty Museum of Art, which I did. But since I went all that way, I explored the campus for a bit as well. The centerpiece is probably the 15-century French chapel dedicated to St. Joan of Arc, which was purchased from France in the 1920s and ultimately made its way to Marquette’s campus in 1964. It was pretty to look at, but not open when I visited ‪at 4pm‬. There really wasn’t anything else for a visitor to see or do on campus from what I can tell. So aside from the free art museum, I don’t see any major reason why a casual tourist would miss out if they opted not to make the trip over here.

When I first saw Marquette it was a group of semi-beautiful buildings plopped in the center of a decaying City. Over the next half century it has become the heart and soul of a city encountering resurrection. The campus plan has torn down derelict structures, replacing them with open spaces replete with grass and hardwood trees. Lungs have come back to Milwaukee’s downtown. If there is anything of beauty in Milwaukee, it is Marquette.
