About Off-Campus Housing Near Marquette University
Marquette University sits about 11,550 students ten blocks west of downtown Milwaukee, on a campus that runs along Wisconsin Avenue and bleeds into the city. You're in a real metro here, not a college town: the Milwaukee River, Lake Michigan, and the museum district are all close, and downtown venues are a walk east. Campus life centers on the Alumni Memorial Union, where students study, eat, and hang out. Basketball is the religion. When the Golden Eagles play at Fiserv Forum, the student section turns weeknights into statement wins. Most students walk or bike, since campus is compact and flat, and summer festivals along the lakefront give the place a big-city rhythm.
Marquette University Housing Requirements
Freshman Live-On Requirement
Marquette requires first and second year students to live in university residence halls. Plan on two years of on-campus living as the default. Most students move off campus as juniors.
Off-Campus Eligibility
Exemptions go to students living with a parent or guardian within 35 miles of campus, anyone 21 or older, and students who have been out of high school two or more years. Apply for the exemption rather than assuming you qualify. After the live-on years, students move into the apartments and two-flats just west and south of the academic core.
Lease Timing
Marquette runs its own neighborhood leasing process for university-managed apartments, and the surrounding private market works the way most big-city rentals do: landlords usually run a credit and income check, and you will often need a guarantor if you do not have your own income. Watch the lease term closely, since many student leases run a full twelve months even though you are really only on campus nine. Read the utility clause too, since some older buildings split heat and water in ways that surprise first-time renters.
