The best way to know if Marquette fits into your future is through an on-campus experience. Join our current students (our Marquette experts) and experience our academic and social life on campus. During a fall Shadow Visit, you’ll attend classes, eat college food, meet current students, and tour all of our academic and extracurricular facilities. During a spring Shadow Visit, you can choose a day or overnight visit option. Stay overnight in a residence hall, attend classes, eat college food, meet current students, tour our academic and extracurricular amenities, and travel throughout the city of Milwaukee.
Interested in trying it on and seeing if it’s a fit? Contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at (414) 288-7302. Please note that Shadow Visits are for high school seniors only and that they require three weeks’ notice.
