this is my opinion, dont hate me for this:
i dont like eating cereal with milk. i dont get how people prefer cereal with milk over cereal without.
first off, i dont really like drinking plain milk. some people just drink a glass of milk, and i honestly cant understand how they enjoy it. the taste of milk on its own is just not for me. sure, i will put milk in my coffee or in a milkshake, but that is completely different. in those cases, the milk is mixed with something else, and it doesnt have that plain flavor.
secondly, the cereal gets so soggy. i really dont understand how people find that enjoyable. without milk, the cereal stays crunchy and has so much flavor. but as soon as you pour milk over it, the texture gets weird and mushy, and the taste just isnt the same. plus, when youre done, youre left with this gross bowl of milk that tastes like watered-down cereal. to me, that is not a good ending to breakfast. it feels like the milk ruins both the texture and the flavor of what could be a perfectly good snack.
so yeah, i will happily eat cereal straight from the box. it keeps its crunch, its tasty, and i dont have to deal with leftover cereal-flavored milk.

To be completely fair, it depends on a lot of different factors.
For example, I think the whole experience heavily depends on what your milk is like! Normally I'd use regular store-bought cow milk, but 1) because it is so processed at the factory, it loses a lot of its taste and richness, and 2) I ended up swapping it out for almond milk because I've noticed milk leaves a very acidic feeling in my mouth which I dislike, and it often makes the skin on my face suffer. A lot.
So, when you figure the milk situation out, it's then all about your personal preferences and some measuring! I personally like to warm up my milk in the microwave first, but when it's summer I will go for cold milk as well. When the milk is warmer, I think the cereal gets soggier as well. I don't really mind the soggy feeling though since I frequently eat oatmeal.
I love eating my comforting mush and liquids... It is not for everyone, but, it is good...
