RE: Big East university campuses
We continue spotlighting entrances to each Big East university campus. Worth noting: not all entrances for each school campus necessarily will be highlighted. I'm using Google Maps for this exercise, so my apologies for any mistakes I make.

Moving from east to west, we have "visited" Providence College, the University of Connecticut, Saint John's University, Seton Hall University, Villanova University, Georgetown University, Xavier University, Butler University and DePaul University. Next up: Marquette University in Milwaukee.

I struggled with MU, even having to resort to checking a campus map online. From what I can determine, the main entrance to the campus is located on Wisconsin Avenue and looking north into the Alumni Memorial Union building. It is for pedestrians only. There is what seemingly is an entrance for vehicles at North 16th and West Clybourn streets.

The Marquette campus is a very urban in its form and function. As such, it might be my favorite Big East campus. There is minimal surface parking (or other "dead space") located on or near the campus. The MU buildings create very appropriate "walls" in terms of scale and orientation (both to the street and to one another). Open green space is minimal but tastefully done. The blend of buildings with traditional and contemporary exterior design is perfect.

The main negative to the MU campus is that Clybourn Street does not look pedestrian friendly. And to the south of that street is Interstate 94.

But overall, and even though lacking a grand entrance, this campus looks outstanding.
