I'm planning a visit to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and I'm curious about their campus tours. Has anyone been on one recently? What's the experience like, and are there any must-see spots? I'm excited to explore but want to make the most of my time there. Also, if you have any tips on parking or navigating the campus, that would be great!
If you are visiting UW Milwaukee, one must-see spot is the Golda Meir Library. This is the largest library in the University of Wisconsin system with more than 5.3 million catalogued items. It's truly impressive. Don't forget to tour the campus buildings according to your prospective major. Considering the pandemic restrictions are eased (make sure to check before you go), the School of Architecture and Urban Planning or the Peck School of the Arts might be interesting to see if that aligns with your academic interests. Definitely check out the UWM Planetarium if you have a penchant for astronomy. And if you're a sports fan, don't pass up a visit to the Klotsche Center & Pavilion which is the hub for UWM Athletics.
In terms of parking, the UWM Union parking garage and the Pavilion parking garage are the most convenient for visitors. They also have a shuttle service that can connect you to the different parts of campus if you don't want to walk. Navigating the campus shouldn't be too difficult as long as you have a good campus map, which should be provided on the tour or is available online.
