College Prowler Take
Most students will agree: beautiful people abound at Miami. However, it is also true that everyone has some kind of niche at the school. Miami students feel it is important to stay in shape, which explains the multitude of joggers that can be found at any given time. The constant crowds at the Rec—not to mention around the salad bars—is also a testament to the overall health consciousness of the student body at Miami. Some people say the guys and girls at Miami can have a snobby streak, brought on by their good looks, nice clothes, and high family incomes, but judging from the high percentage of marriages after graduation (see Miami Mergers later on), the students here must be doing something right. Looks are important at Miami, and that can either be a good or bad thing. While there is plenty of eye candy, it has been estimated that around 20 percent of Miami students, mostly female, have been, or could be, diagnosed with some type of eating disorder. Staying in shape and eating right is important. Miami caters to this by providing nutritional information on all the dining hall food. But students must realize that blending in with the crowd is not the be all and end all. It’s best to come to school comfortable with yourself and be careful where your priorities lie—just remind yourself why you are in college in the first place.

On the whole, people are...
On the whole, people are physically very attractive here. Guys can be a bit fratty at times, girls can have a bit too much of the "daddy's little princess" mentality. However, I've met more genuinely cool people here than not.

There are many types of people on Miami's campus. The guys are usually pretty fun and outgoing, but there is also the group of guys that are more "geeky" if you will- really smart but kind of socially awkward. The girls are usually described as "snotty" and "preppy" but really pretty with not a lot of common sense. This is only a portion of the girls- many girls are very smart, both book smart and with common sense, and are very nice, outgoing, and funny.

We are a beautiful people campus. Everyone is pretty concerned or obsessed with his or her appearance. There are plenty of great-looking guys who know they’re great looking, and plenty of hot girls who know they’re hot, which leads to some egos. A lot of people workout, and there are always people running on campus. Most people are nice, but there are the typical snotty kids around, as well. You just have to meet the right group, and then you’re fine. |

Miami has a reputation for having a ridiculous amount of beautiful girls. It’s true. |
FactsBirth Control Available?
Yes - Birth control can be obtained at either the Student Health Center or the Planned Parenthood Center located uptown. Forms of birth control include condoms and the pill. Student organizations sometimes pass out condoms at the Hub and in the residence halls.
Social Scene
Most students make friends quickly with the students they live with in their first-year residence hall. It is not uncommon for these students to remain living together for the rest of their time at Miami. Freshman residences promote social activity. Outside of the residence hall, student organizations provide an excellent opportunity to meet new people.
Hookups or Relationships?
There is a happy mixture of both at Miami. There are girls and guys who hold no qualms with hooking up for a night. On the other hand, there are also students who are in committed relationships, and even some who are engaged or married.
Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls
This is college. Any location is a great place to meet a potential love interest or random hottie. Dorms can be great places to meet others, as are the quads. Even sitting in class, students begin relationships by working together, borrowing pencils, and complaining about professors and the workload. Never underestimate the power of friends—you never know when they will introduce you to a potential love interest at a party or a bar.
Dress Code
Miami is often referred to as "J.Crew U," and this nickname aptly describes the unofficial dress code of the school. Even when girls go to class in T-shirts and sweatpants, they somehow pull it off with style. Miami students take their wardrobe very seriously. Almost all girls own a pair of "Miami sex pants," tight, black pants that are worn for a night on the town. Guys show up to class in anything from khakis with a nice polo, button-down shirt, to jeans and a T-shirt. There is the occasional student who doesn't dress in the Miami norm. For the most part, though, students look like they have just stepped off of the cover of a Abercrombie & Fitch or American Eagle catalog.
