Mount Mary offers countless opportunities for students to stay busy and engaged outside of class. Whether you commute to school or live in the residence hall, you’ll quickly find a place to explore your interests, meet new friends, and have fun.

The campus is but a bus ride away from downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin’s most vibrant and culturally diverse city. From the performing arts to art galleries as well as a variety of festivals there’s no shortage of entertainment and employment opportunities.
