Around Town

Being in the Historic Third Ward district of downtown Milwaukee, MIAD is in an amazing location for college students. Every student gets a bus pass, so you can go anywhere you want in the city, or simply explore the Third Ward. The setting is great for aspiring artists because there are always gallery/exhibition openings going on, and we're only a mile away from the Milwaukee Art Museum. We are in close proximity to beaches, walking paths, museums, restaurants, and so on. I really can't say enough about how great Milwaukee is for students, whether or not you like MIAD. It's not as busy as some place like Chicago, so it's not overwhelming, but it's super easy to find something fun to do.

The theater is close enough to the school for students to walk to and enjoy a play of some sort. If not that, the beach is not too far away and neither is the small mall. As for fun at the school there are plenty of clubs to join that host a multitude of events (Including an anime convention!).

There is a lot to do around MIAD considering it is located in the Historic Third Ward of Downtown Milwaukee. There are plenty of restaurants, shops, and other attractions for students to explore. There is also the student union across the street that serves a cafe style menu, so students can pick up a bit to eat and hang out.

Theres always activities on campus, in the dorms, and in the milwaukee area. There are nice beaches, music and art festivals, and lots of gallery shows that bring people together.
