Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

Despite daily griping about tuition costs, parking, thunderstorms, and hard classes, most students really seem to enjoy UM. Excellent attributes like the nightlife, weather, and culture seem to cancel out some of the bad things about being in Miami. For some students, these bad things include the unapproachable “hot” girls and guys on campus, while others find life in the dorms to be a challenge. The complaints about college are basically what you’d expect to hear anywhere. It appears that the bad things at UM really aren’t that bad, but the good things are very good. Miami is one of the coolest cities in the world for a college student, and that goes deeper than just the superficial bar and club scene.

Students who are unhappy generally figure it out within a semester and transfer out of UM, usually to somewhere closer to home. College is tough, especially the first couple weeks if you come without knowing anyone. Making a whole new group of friends for the first time since kindergarten is one of the hardest and most stressful things you may ever have to do. But the end result of this process is friendships that you’ll likely maintain for the rest of your life. Whether it’s your roommate, classmates, fraternity brother, or sorority sister, college is a time when you should make friends and have fun. Despite the initial challenges of coming to college, there are few cities in the world that are as fun as Miami.

Studying at the U!

The academics here are manageable. At first you may feel overwhelmed but once you find your rhythm there not so bad.

The teachers I've had so far are awesome and know what there talking about. :)

Off-Campus Housing at University of Miami

Miami Housing.

The off-campus housing surrounding the University of Miami is specifically designed to cater to a Miami student. The housing are relatively expensive, but since the average University of Miami student is usually more well-off than the average college student, landlords find this to be no big deal. The safety of the area has improved drastically in recent years, but still carries the stigma and stereotype of crime from years past. Overall, it is no more unsafe than the average big city. The housing quality is pretty average, nothing exceptionally special but it definetly has all needed qualities for well functioning home. Every, and I mean EVERY, form of housing is near campus. University of Miami has a slow yet extremely thorough process for assisting their studnets with off campus housing that indicates that they truly care about their students's wellfare.

Campus Dining at University of Miami

It's Acceptable and Tastes Good!

I don't eat at the dining halls much, rather I go to the food court. There is a variety of places like Wendy's, Jamba Juice, Panda, Salsaritas, Sushi, Gyros, etc. It may seem like it gets repetitive, but honestly it stays fresh with all the different meals available at each of the restaurants. The dining halls get the usual college complaints, however, I like the food and the variety there.
