The University of Miami has truly exceeded my expectations as a higher education institution. From its stunning campus to its diverse and engaging academic programs, my experience here has been nothing short of exceptional.
The campus itself is a sight to behold. Nestled in the vibrant city of Coral Gables, the university boasts lush green spaces, palm tree-lined pathways, and beautifully designed buildings that seamlessly blend modern architecture with a touch of Mediterranean influence. It's a picturesque setting that never fails to inspire and motivate me as a student.
The academic offerings at the University of Miami are diverse and comprehensive.

Read more2014- Here's the deal, all private universities are expensive. The ones complaining should have chosen a public college. As for the people suggesting UM is a party school, isn't every school?! Btw, I'm the parent and I'm making sacrifices for my kid to go to UM. We had other choices but UM has a great Biomedical Engineering program that fit.
Location: great area, sure parts of every city has it's problems so be careful, travel with friends and stay out of trouble. Coral Gables is a great area. Go to USC, area pretty much sucks! I know I'm from LA. Those people that think they (parents) wasted their money, well I say perhaps you wasted your time on being fools and not actually studying. Should have chosen a community college then, way cheaper.
You get what you put into it. Find a summer job that might pertain to your major, hopefully they'll pay you. It takes work, no matter where you go to school. Times are bad, finding a real job is very difficult these days. If this is why you think you wasted your money, you're wrong. Higher education will win over not going to college every time. Be patient.
Parents: UM is a great school! The campus is amazing. If your kid is smart they give scholarships, although many privates do. Many public colleges are good too. Research your options. We chose private because the California UC system and State schools are impacted and a mess! Getting out in 4 years is a stretch. Private will cost us less. Visit the colleges. If you can't travel the schools hold seminars close to your area. Ask questions. Go out of your state, they offer incentives. Good...
Read moreUnless your parents can afford the exorbitant tuition or you have a great scholarship I would not recommend attending UM. I had some good professors and some not so good. Class sizes are fairly small which will matter for some, others not so much. People talk about the campus being beautiful but in my opinion it was nothing special. It is a fairly new school and the modern buildings lack the character of older schools established in the 1800s. In addition, the older buildings they did have are being torn down to make room for newer facilities. Weather is a plus if you don't mind the humidity or lots of rain. If you are looking for the "typical" college town experience I doubt you will find it at UM due to its location in a large metro. It seems like UM is a hot destination for prep school kids from the Northeast. The vast majority of guys that attend UM are bros. Also rich kids from around the world, especially Latin America, the Caribbean, and China. Save your money. Start off at a Community or Junior College then transfer to a public four year college or university. At the end of the day the University of Miami (like all other colleges and universities) is a business. They just want your money. They don't care about you or what happens to you after you leave. That's...
