amanda_rensch Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 With literally HOURS to decide, I cannot make a decision. Pros and cons to both schools, no school is going to be absolutely perfect. I plan to skate on their skating teams, Michigan State will be more demanding (skating-wise), but possibly more rewarding. I am worried about the oral examination and extra final examination at MSU, but it's not a huge deal. Also, worried about living in Milwaukee. Would love ANY and ALL input on either of these schools.

heyheyhey42 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Can I ask what you’re worried about if you live in Milwaukee? I grew up there so I can answer any questions you might have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amanda_rensch Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 Just worried about the commute to class, skating practice, coaching, and clinical placements! Is it hard to get around? Hard to find parking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heyheyhey42 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I would say parking is probably a little more available than other, bigger cities, but it still isn't incredibly easy to come by. I know there is a garage maybe two blocks from the Health Sciences building, which is where I'm guessing most of your classes would be. I think on my tour, the tour guide said a pass for the garage was about $500 per semester. I'm guessing skating practices would be at the Pettit National Ice Center, which is in West Allis. (I'm not sure on this, but I don't think Marquette has their own ice rink.) It would usually take you maybe 10-15 minutes to get there, but obviously it would be longer during rush hour. I definitely think as long as you plan out enough time to account for traffic and finding parking at downtown spots, you shouldn't have a problem! I know a lot of the suburban hospitals like St. Francis Hospital and Franklin Hospital usually have ample parking. During the winters, the city and surrounding suburbs usually do a pretty good job of salting and plowing, but just make sure to leave extra time for weather issues! Do you have a place in mind that you'd like to live? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
