Anyone have any opinions or insight on U Miami in Florida? Senior in California currently and wish to know more about it from a perspective that isnt wikapedia or the school website
Okay, I’ll bite. I graduated from the “U”, 32 years ago. What would you like to know? Your question, is quite broad.
I live in Palm Beach County, north of UM, and it’s a very good school for certain majors as I understand it. I have never looked at UM ,however, for our DS mainly because I don’t want to deal with Miami traffic, cost of living, and the private school fees. That’s not the best reasoning on the planet but it’s where we’re at.
Brother went there on an academic scholarship (3/4 tuition) over Emory, U of Florida, Wake Forest, and Vandy and knew several people in a similar situation. He loved it and went on to an excellent grad school, but it probably isn’t worth full sticker if that is what you are left to pay. There were plenty of driven, well-balanced and smart kids, but a few that were less so as well. Professors by and large were excellent especially as he took more and more rigorous courses and the proximity to beaches/cool neighborhoods/and the burgeoning Miami art scene were all pluses as well.
Let me know if you have other specific questions.
