<p>In nearly all of the student reviews tha i have read, it has been said that the University of Miami is just one big party school for rich kids. Ive heard from studentreviews.com that all the students are snobby rich kids who do not care about academics and just went to maimi for the location and to party</p>
<p>I've read a lot about U of Miami being over-rated as well, and mostly rich kids. Yet this year it seems like it is very competitive to get accepted and/or scholarships.</p>
<p>Any input about how this university would compare to an in-state university experience? Could it possibly worth the extra money if my son was not awarded a scholarship?</p>
<p>hazmat, you are majoring in sarcasm, right? LOL.

Quite good actually.</p>
<p>OP, Umiami is a fine school that like USC or Vandy or Wake or many others will have a % of Richie Rich party girls and boys. Don't worry. There will be plenty of students that share your "parties are for weekends" attitude. It most certainly is not considered a "joke".</p>
