<p>I know there were some threads about this a few years ago, but i need a more updated insight to which of the schools I should attend assuming i get into both (Which i have a good chance of).</p>
<p>Which school overall would you recommend more?</p>
<p>Tulane!</p>
<p>I was talking to one of my college conselors who absolutely reeled back when I mentioned UMiami. (She went to Stanford.) Anyway, she told me how one of her professors got some of his college education in Miami, and when he went transfered to a Boston school he had a hard, hard time even meeting basic requirements. Overall she said that the University of Miami's education quality is lower than California/New York/etc schools so jobs will put less of an emphasis on a degree from UMiami then they will for a school in California like Occidental.</p>
<p>florida really sucks so I wouldn't suggest miami at all. and I've heard the school is really ghetto, if you know what I mean. Like imagine USC's location with a community college curriculum, and you have it.</p>
<p>Well i mean Miami Used to be that way, but it is ranked the same as Tulane now and seems to be a pretty good school now (I know it didnt used to be). Their new president has really whipped the school into shape. Tulane has lost 8 ranking spots while miami has gained 13... Which is why i am even considering Miami... </p>
<p>interesting..</p>
<p>Well, if you rate things by how much they improve, then go for it, but what really matters is where they actually are, not where they are in relation to where they were.</p>
<p>Well yeah, but i just mean it is ranked the same as tulane now... So is it really that much worse?</p>
<p>MrCalifornian... it's clearly says something that the school has improved. He should very well consider that because it's come a long way and it's on the path to moving up.</p>
<p>Don't listen to the people who bash U of Miami. Tulane and Miami each have their pro's and con's, and you'd do best to visit each one and decide which one feels right for you. And ignore the person who said the whole "USC with a community college curriculum." Although there are rough parts in Miami, the U is in a much safer location than USC. And clearly the curriculum is above a community college... that's just nonsense.</p>
<p>Don't let people talk you out of a school if you really like it.</p>
<p>I'd say just for the environment, yes. I know someone who went there because that's the only place they got in, and he said it was just like the courses he took at the comm. college when he was in high school, but no one is focused on school. I don't know as much about Tulane, but at least New Orleans isn't really trashy.</p>
<p>I have been to the campus at miami (Not tulane yet) It is really nice.. I just seriously cant decide, I am going to visit Tulane soon but I am really torn.</p>
<p>Well, visiting is really helpful, and if you're 50 50 without visiting Tulane, you'll lean there once you go: after every college I visited, I wanted to go there. The appearance of a campus and the environment are two different things, though.
Chance me:

<p>HAHA.
As a Floridian, I'll get you some insight.
Florida=hot (just like Tulane), boring, not fun, boring, not fun.
UMiami-Eh, if you're rich and want to party in the sun, come here.
Tulane-I've visited, I personally love it.
So..</p>
<p>Yeah I lived in florida for a while, and found it to be a God-awful place. I hate even admitting I was there, but for the sake of this, I will. It is <em>always</em> disgustingly humid and most people are detestably annoying, if not merely 79. The education system is absolutely horrible, and I totally believe my friend's evaluation of miami's continuing of this trend. Oh and everyone always has the AC on, even when it is cold, and it never gets cold enough to be refreshing, rather just enough to be annoying so you can't even wear a jacket. And it rains every afternoon for an hour, so you always need an umbrella or coat, which is <em>really</em> annoying. So yeah. Tulane is better.</p>
<p>Well this sounds pretty one sided, I will hear back from Tulane hopefully this upcoming week so ill let you know.</p>
