There is no worse thing here.

Gloire

The worst thing about my shcool is like all Ivy-League schools or academically challenging school, the studnets are nutured to survive not live.

Andres

The parking situation at UM is pretty bad. If i get there ten minutes late i have to park across campus. Also the fact that we dont have a football stadium on campus like alot of other universities.

Danielle

The worst thing....The worst thing would have to be the humidity(really really bad humidity even compared to my home an hour North), and a large freshman population of kids who seem here more for the South Beach life than for the academics. They seem to be weeded out more in the higher years though, so it's ok.

The cost. The tuition is very pricey and all the fees that are added are too much. Of course,going into a private University we're aware it will be expensive but it's too much.

The worst thing about my school is the price. Every year, total cost of atteandance is somewhere around $50,000. The finanacial aid packages are decent but it could be better. It helps take some of the burden off but the tuition, room and board, fees and prices of books can really put a dent in your pocket. Its a great school and provides many oppurtunities but the price you pay is a bit excessive.

The worst thing at the University of Miami is the older buildings. Some of the buildings are outdated and need to be repaired or rebuilt.

As much as I love going to the University of Miami, attending a private school in one of the most expensive cities in America probably wasn't the best decision I could've made in terms of my cash flow situation. Miami gives very generous scholarships to all incoming freshman based off of your academic success in high school, but the remaining cost is still rather expensive. I personally have found it hard to find other forms of aid and the Office of Financial Assisstance are not always too helpful. In the end, it's worth all the money though.

Worst thing about the U is that it is too expensive. Most students like me had to take every loan available and are probably still paying for them.

The school expenses is the worse thing about my school, because even though it has a good program the price is overwhelming.
