ConneCt“Milwaukee is More than hoMe to Me; it’s life. It fosters my aca-

demics, networking, work and play, with room to grow. My parents have

to bribe me home if they expect me to leave the city!”

—ashley rolfe, Sociology major

“My freshMan year at sandburg [Residence Halls] changed my

life. I came from a small town, graduated with 50 people and hadn’t been

in cities often. My suitemates made my transition simple and my new life

began with ease. We were all going through it together, and five years

later we’re still best friends.”

—andrew tietyen, Health Care Administration major

“in My sophoMore year I started fieldwork through Milwaukee Public

Schools, though I wasn’t sure if I wanted to be a teacher or social worker.

One child was having a difficult time with remembering the alphabet and

I’d been working with her on it for weeks. I came in for my second-to-last

class and she recited the alphabet for me perfectly. That’s when I knew I

wanted to become a teacher.”

—katie Cronin, Education major

fe College is a time to learn and experience; to stretch your mind and imagination. It’s also a time to make new friends and have fun! UWM’s main campus is a compact 93 acres—about nine city blocks. Packed into that space are two movie theaters, three performance venues, 15 places to eat (some featuring vegetarian/vegan fare and local produce), a bowling alley, billiards tables, workout rooms, a planetarium, 15 NCAA Division 1 teams (go Panthers!) and more (such as, yes, lecture halls, class-rooms, labs, libraries and a bookstore).

Whatever your interest, fun is easy to find. Your first week on campus, kick back with Campus Kickoff—a full week of activities designed to help you meet new friends, explore the campus and learn about all the University has to offer. PANTHERFEST caps off the week: It’s a welcome-back party that draws thousands of students and alumni to the Summerfest grounds for big-name entertainment, games, food and fun.

In the 2009-10 academic year, 165,384 cups of coffee were purchased and consumed by our alert students from five campus Grind coffeehouse locations.

city life

Experience everything the city has to offer. UWM’s home base on Milwaukee’s beautiful East Side is just blocks from Lake Michigan, and a 15-minute bus trip from downtown Milwaukee (hop on for free with your student UPASS; many buses also are equipped with bike racks).

Milwaukee is known as the City of Festivals, offering a lineup of great music, food and entertainment all year long. Many of the festivals celebrate the city’s diversity—African World Festival, Festa Italiana, PrideFest, Mexican Fiesta, Bastille Days, Indian Summer and more. Of course, the biggest celebration of all is Summerfest, the world’s largest music festival.

reAl-world exPerienceAs a student at UWM, you have all the resources of a vibrant, growing metropolitan area at your finger-tips—including many opportunities to gain professional experience prior to graduation. Statistics tell us that two out of three Wisconsin jobs are located right here in the Southeastern Wisconsin/Metro Milwaukee area.

Internships, programs and partnerships with hundreds of local businesses and arts organizations—includ-ing industry leaders such as Northwestern Mutual, Johnson Controls, the Milwaukee Art Museum and Harley-Davidson—connect you to real-life experi-ences in an exciting, energetic setting. Our faculty connections provide access and recommendations to companies that prepare you for the world beyond our doors.

university housing Looking to join the nearly 4,300 UWM students who will live in university housing in fall 2011? Our four residence halls (Cambridge Commons, Purin, RiverView and Sandburg) house mostly first-year students in suite-style accommoda-tions. Each suite (four to six people) has single-, double- and/or triple-occupancy rooms with a shared bathroom. Residents have access to a variety of dining and activity options in all com-plexes. University Housing provides free shuttle service between residence halls and the main campus. In addition, transfer students and up-perclassmen may choose to live at Kenilworth Square Apartments.

More information, including virtual tours of all buildings, is available at universityhousing.uwm.edu. Check back often for information about Cam-bridge Commons, scheduled to open in fall 2010.

As a university housing resident, you will have the chance to join a Living Learning Community (LLC). An LLC integrates your in-class work with the residence hall environment. Members of an LLC

are assigned rooms on the same floor, take at least one class

together and participate in special events that enhance their learning outside the classroom. More than 10 LLCs are currently being offered—check out the current options at LLC.uwm.edu.

APPlying for university housingFirst-year students are not required to live in uni-versity housing at UWM. If you are interested in university housing, apply simply by answering “yes” to the question, “Do you plan to live on campus?” on the Application for Admission form. If you answer “no” or leave it blank, you will not be eligible for university housing. Applying early is recommended—the earliest date for applica-tion to UWM for incoming freshmen is Septem-ber 15 of your senior year (see page 26).

For detailed information, and/or questions about the housing contract process, be sure to visit Uni-versity Housing at universityhousing.uwm.edu or call 414.229.4065.

off-cAmPus housing Get connected to your new community by living in the vibrant neighborhoods surrounding campus. More than 6,000 students—and many members of our faculty and staff—call this area home.

The UWM Neighborhood Housing Office (NHO) provides direct outreach and advising to help students find quality off-campus housing and roommates through education, referral and sup-port. The NHO promotes healthy living and civic responsibility to connect students with UWM and the surrounding neighborhoods.

The NHO website includes an online listing service of rental units, individuals looking for roommates, rooms for rent, subleases and gen-eral off-campus living information. Off-campus properties are not inspected or approved by the University. See neighborhoodhousing.uwm.edu.

The NHO also provides tips on searching for housing and assists you in getting to know the UWM neighborhoods, Metro Milwaukee area and campus resources. In addition, the office is responsible for the Community Outreach and Assistance to Student Tenants (COAST) Lead-ers program. These Leaders are students hired, trained, supported and supervised by the NHO to serve as peer educators and resources for identi-fied student neighborhoods. COAST Leaders also have the opportunity to program, network and communicate with their neighbors, including stu-dent tenants, landlords and long-term residents, to create a stronger sense of community for all.

If you would like to set up an appointment with an NHO representative to learn more about housing options in the community, or if you have questions, call 414.229.6999, stop by the NHO office in the UWM Union, room WG85, or email housing@uwm.edu.

freshmAn Admission exPectAtions UWM is committed to excellence and access. We look for evidence of solid academic prepa-ration, motivation and the potential for further intellectual development. Each application re-ceives a comprehensive review.

If you are an exceptionally strong student, you’ll find plenty of company here, with lots of op-portunities for academic challenge. But we also admit students from many backgrounds and with differing levels of academic preparation. The key question is: Do you have the potential for aca-demic success here at UWM?

To help determine this, we look at a number of factors:• High school graduation (or the equivalent).• Academic preparation, as evidenced by your

pattern of high school coursework, GPA, grades in specific courses, class rank (if avail-able) and other information from your high school transcript.

• ACT or SAT scores.• Other relevant information you provide on the

application form to give us a better picture of who you are. Be sure to fill out the application completely, because we read it very carefully!

Some of our programs have more stringent aca-demic requirements than others. Go to www4.uwm.edu/academics/schools_colleges.cfm for complete information on special requirements.

trAnsfer Admission exPectAtions UWM is the most popular transfer destination in the UW System. For admission with a pre-major classification, most programs require a cumula-tive GPA of 2.0 or higher on at least 12 attempted transferable credits. Applicants with fewer than 12 transferable credits will be evaluated based on their high school record. Each application re-ceives a comprehensive review.

Admission to UWM does not necessarily guar-antee admission to your major or program. To gain admission to your major, you will need to meet specific GPA and credit requirements. Go to uwm.edu/ugcatalog for more info.

deAdlines Applications to UWM are accepted beginning September 15, 2010, for fall 2011 admission. For most programs, applications are accepted until July 1 for the fall term (December 1 for the spring term), or until enrollment capacity has been reached, whichever comes first.

However, some programs have much earlier deadlines. Students interested in Architecture or Nursing should apply by January 1 for fall (November 1 for spring).
