University of Miami Top Questions

It was like living at a resort but also learning s much.

A few things about the University of Miami, distinguished it from a number of other schools I looked at. Having nice weather year round makes campus seem more lively, and maintains a positive attitude amongst the student body. The size of the ungraduate student body was also ideal, in my eyes, as classes are small enough that you can truly interact with the teacher, becoming more intelluctually stimualted. At the same time, it is large enough that you always feel as though you are meeting new people.

Its the U

What is unique about the University of Miami is the strong educational background of all its professors, and the overall cultural diversity of its entire population (both students and professors). I also believe that its campus is unique, as it underlines the beachy yet urban aspect of Miami, while being retreated in Coral Gables, which is a very pleasant and beautiful neighborhood. I enjoy all the research that is done by the professors, and their willingness to get you involved in it if you seem genuinely interested in their research topics.

The University of Miami is an outstanding university, excelling over others in academics, athletics, and social life.

I'm biased, but one of the best University college scenes in the world. Miami is so international and there are so many things to do. Everyone is good looking, the weather is awesome. It feels great to be a hurricane. You can throw up the []_[] anywhere and people know what it is. Best decision of my life to go here.

It's awesome. It's the best school I visited and I wouldn't want to go anywhere else.

You can get more school for your money elsewhere. I regret to say I pay full tuition and room and board to go to this university and at the end of my time here I have found spending $50,000 to be a highly inflated price for the services I am "receiving". Go to an in-state university where you will pay a lot less to get the same quality education. Teachers here, for the most part, "teach" by reading verbatim each slide, after which they will hand you a multiple choice test for which you are supposed to memorize the text book you purchased. Do not pay $50,000 to be given multiple choice tests and be read to from power points!! Please, DO NOT DO IT!! To make matters worse, UM is spending all its money on lobbyists and the initiative to increase the school's rankings on US News because they want to be "the ivy league school of the south". Yet, shout out to Shalala, if you want UM to be an ivy league school, the professors need to teach like one; there need to be intimate, round table, discussion based classes!! Also, UM doesn't know where its' academic strengths are, so all of the majors here are fairly lackluster. I have switched into eight different majors, so believe me, I know this to be a fact. The football stadium is an hour away and the students are squeezed into one tiny section while the rest of the stadium remains sparse. The only positive here is that the school provides coach buses to the games and students do not have to pay for season tickets. However, this does not outweigh the lengthy travel to the stadium, the high prices of food and drinks when you're there, and the strict security. FORGET HAVING FUN ON CAMPUS, THEY ARE CONSTANTLY TRYING TO SHUT DOWN GREEK LIFE AND THE RATHSKELLER. Make one false move, get caught with a fake ID, throw a party one time, stay at a mixer past curfew one time and you will be prosecuted by UM and the consequences will be severe.

The University of Miami is very liberal and accepting of others. I've learned so much while I've been here.

yeah we party hard but at the end of the day Miami is one of the coolest, hard-working campuses you will find. Its funny to see that nerdy guy in the front of your diff eq class raging at Liv and that ditsy blonde discussing Keynesian economics. Basically, there is no other place I would rather spend the next four years than beautiful Miami. We live where you vacation.
