Hey guys, I've been considering applying to University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I'm curious about their student population size. Could someone give me an idea of how big the campus is and if it feels overcrowded?
Sure! The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) has a relatively substantial student population. As of recent data, UWM enrolled around 24,000 students, with roughly 20,000 of them being undergraduate students and the rest being graduate students.
Although the campus size might seem large, it is spread out across 104 acres, which helps to distribute the student population. Because of this, while certain areas might feel busy during peak times, such as between classes or during lunch hours, it typically doesn't feel overcrowded. The availability of campus resources and facilities also helps manage the number of students, so everyone can have an enriching college experience.
However, it's important to consider your personal preferences regarding class sizes and the campus environment. Some students appreciate bigger campuses and student bodies for their diverse opportunities and resources, while others may prefer smaller, more intimate campus communities. You may want to visit the campus in person or take a virtual tour to see if the campus environment at UWM feels comfortable and suits your needs.
