<p>Hello all you in Miami from Spain</p>
<p>I am a student of architecture in Alicante and next february I am coming to UM to finish my final project thank to the agreement between the University of Alicante and UM.</p>
<p>As you can imagine I have plenty of doubts about this experience (the program of the degree, the accommodation, the city... everything will be new for me). I would love to find anyone who studies architecture or whatever in UM, to let me know, before arriving, some typs. you know.</p>
<p>You know that it is always comforting to have a group of "native" friends before coming to a different place.</p>
<p>Thank you very much!!!</p>

<p>My S is actually studying in Spain this summer through a UMiami program with the Universidad de Cantabria! He is studying art history and really enjoying the experience. The only area that is a bit bothersome is the language barrier. He has had 3 college semesters of Spanish, but is still struggling a bit to understand people, including his host family. You seem to have a great command of English, so that shouldn't be an issue for you. </p>
<p>I have heard very good things about the architecture program and they opened the great new Architecture Center this year. I'm sure you've probably already seen this, but her's a link to the arch website. <a href="http://www.arc.miami.edu/%5B/url%5D">http://www.arc.miami.edu/</a> There is so much to do at UM, I think you will love the experience. Where will you be living?</p>
