Milwaukee is the largest city and the business, financial, industrial andcultural heart of Wisconsin. The city’s miles of lakefront beaches and trails create a great environment for beach-going, jogging, rollerblading, bicycling and ice skating and crosscountry skiing in the winter. Arts, sports and cultural festivals are held year-round. UWM is located in a quiet, safe and attractive residential area within walking distance of Lake Michigan and public parks. Although metropolitan, Milwaukee’s community makes it feel like a small town.
