University of Miami Top Questions

The University of Miami and the city of Miami can both be very expensive, especially if you are not frugal with your money.

Academically, nothing that I could remember, in my opinion this is an excellent school. The only thing that frustrates me in the cost of the classes.

the cost of school 45,000 a year is simply unreal although most ppl at Miami are on strong scholarships

Finding a parking space.

How unfriendly people are. You will meet someone at a party or share a cab with someone, or meet someone through a mutual friend, but when you pass them on campus they won't say hi. Being drunk is a lame excuse, its pretty hard to believe that every time you meet someone at a party they are black out drunk to the point they can't remember you. I'm sure that sometimes its true. But fight this! Go out of your way to say hi to people you recognize, it will make the world a better place.

The most frustrating thing about my school is that there is so much going on that you just want to be able to do everthing at once! There are so many clubs, groups, committees, teams etc. that are fun, engaging, andeducating. This school has everything from an equestrian team to a scuba club. My school really encourages students to get the most out of college by being involved in eveything we can, and Miami is the perfect place to do it. It's so frustrating not being able to be a part of absolutely everything my campus has to offer!

The most frustrating thing is definately the tuition costs and the rush hour traffic leaving class!!!

how much it cost to go to school here and live here

Sometimes it's hard to balance social life with academics.

The only really frustrating thing is the handling of the residential colleges, specifically in regards to freshman communities/dorms: in the dorm that I live in, there is a push for there only to be upperclassmen in the building that are either RA's or Academic Fellows (a person per floor that specializes in certain subject areas....) and while some dorms didn't have much participation from the upperclassmen, ours did and I felt that it was wrong to oust the very fabric of such a strong community.
