While you will be spending most of your time in the Wehr Life Sciences Building, all work and no play will make you dull and cranky. To prevent that, the Brew City offers a plethora of activites to keep you fresh and alive.

Milwaukee is not Chicago or New York... and that's not a bad thing. It has all the things a big city has to offer (like the arts, major league sports, great restaurants and parks) with fewer of the hassles (like big city prices, crime, pollution and traffic).

Here are just some of the many things you can do in Milwaukee during the summer:

• Show your cultured side at the nearby Milwaukee Art Museum, Milwaukee Repertory Theater, Florentine Opera or Milwaukee Ballet (be sure to ask for the student discount)
• Hop on your bike and head for Lake Michigan's beaches (they're less than two miles from campus).
• Hear some great bands at The Rave, Shank Hall, the Riverside Theater (or if you want to hear them all in one place, head to Summerfest -- the nation's largest outdoor music festival)
• Check out the world's largest dinosaur skull at the Milwaukee Public Museum. Or see a film at the museum's Humphrey IMAX Dome Theater, just a few blocks from campus.
• Go outside and play... in nearly 15,000 acres of parks including 89 miles of bikeways, 17 municipal golf courses and countless baseball diamonds, basketball and tennis courts.
• Catch a Brewers game at the new Miller Park Baseball Stadium, two miles from campus.
• Savor Milwaukee's more than 1,500 restaurants, from Mexican to Thai, Italian to German, cheeseburgers to Chinese.

  When you're in Milwaukee, you've got the best of both worlds -- a big city with a small town feel
