What's unique about Miami Dade is that it first opened its doors in the 1960s, amidst the strain of desegregation and the influx of thousands of Cuban refugees. Initially, 1,428 students entered the college that year. Miami Dade County Junior College, as it was known back then, was open to any county students who had graduated from high school. When it opened, the College became Florida’s first integrated junior college.

Apart from other school's I would have to say the 'feel' of my school is so different from what I've seen. Though it may be really small and right by "la calle ocho" its really lively. They try their best to bring 'school spirit' despite their limits. The school is open so anyone can really just step inside and look around or 'join the festivities'. It really just resembles the whole feel of the community that it itself is so lively and sunny.
