University of Miami Top Questions

the weather and close proximity to the beach

When speaking to my friends, I most often brag about the diversity, the location, and the overall quality of live at the University of Miami. Coming to a private university, I have been exposed to people from all over the country, and all over the world. It feels great to know that I now have a network of friends and resources spread all across the globe. The beautiful weather of South Florida is also an incredible perk, especially coming from New England. The students at University of Miami are generally happy people, which makes going to class very enjoyable.

The sports and the weather

I don't brag about my school. I just am glad and feel fortunate enough to attend it to recieve and further my education while playing the sport I love.

I brag about the facilities, and the education. I absolutely LOVE all of my classes and my professors, and I've learned more than I ever thought I would. The facilities are also top-knotch! The school is very modern and has a beautiful campus.

South Florida boasts average year round temperatures in the 80's. This is an inviting atmosphere, and considering my first degree was obtained from a school in Minnesota, I think that it is fair to say that bragging about the climate prevailed over other details while I was in graduate school. I regularly attended classes in shorts and t-shirts even during the winter months.

The sports, our new student center and how small and intimate our class sizes are cmpared to other schools.

yea its in maimi

The campus is fabulous!

I mostly brag about the amazing professors that teach there. I also tend to comment on the beautiful campus, and the friendly atmosphere. Lastly, I feel grateful for all the mentorship and research opportunities . For instance, I completed my own psychology research in Dr. Ironson (M.D., Ph.D)'s laboratory over summer where I examined the relationship between existential meaning and psychological depression in the HIV/ AIDS population. I then got to present my results before the entire psychology department faculty, and potential future colleagues. I feel that the University of Miami is a wonderful university.

It's not nice to brag, but when you are part of such a great school and with such potential for a medical program, it's a bit hard not to. UM is also very good with student involvement and organizations, while other "colleges" around the area really lack the motivation.

I would advice prospective students to study at the University of Miami. It is in the a very good location with excellent climate. The school has many activities that you could join. It is a medium size school, the ratio students to teachers is about 18:1. It is a great way to meet people from around the world since UM is a very international school.

I like to brag on how University of Miami is a haven for diversity. People of different cultures and religions aggegrate to this campus for only one purpose; to receive an education. I have the opportunity to learn about different ideas, cultures, traditions and varied ways of viewing things. This helps me grow as an individual; I become more candid and less judgemental. This way, everyone of different origins become one and work together to make our society a better place. It may not seem like teamwork because everyone pursues their individual goals; but it's collaboration.

The football games and how helpful all of the professors are.

The campus is beautiful. We are in such a beautiful part of the country that is never cold and is always beautiful and sunny. Even when it is raining, such as now due to the tropical storm in the area, the rain is warm and misty, it is simply beautiful. The beach is not far away, and fun is never not to be had. Also, the people around you in the classes are genuinely interested in learning.

I'm a Cane! Who in Miami doesn;t wat to be a Miami Hurricane. It's the one Universiy everybody knows about and wants to be a part of. The school spirit, the football team, the baseball team, etc.

We're Miami. That's enough said. Everyone has a built up dream, and while it includes the beach, people don't understand that people here work hard and they play hard.

The weather here is fantastic- while a lot of my friends are deaaling with snowstorms and dark, dreary, cold weather, students at UM can enjoy warm, sunny weather. The general disposation around campus matches the weather. It is a generally relaxed and warm environment. There is a lot of school spirit and a lot of ways to get involved in school activities and community outreach. Miami is just a wonderfully warm place and I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else.

A lot! I mean, the weather and being in Miami is a no brainer. But as far as the school itself...it is an extremely well-rounded and balanced institution...it's like an appetizer sampler....a little bit for everyone.

Going to UM isn't jsut about football/basketball games or even just about the education. It's the overall experience. Not only are we in one of the greatest cities, but what student can say that their campus is always kept clean, I'm talking about bathrooms clean, no trash on the floor, no dead grass or unkept. Well we can. Being at UM is like being in a seperate universe where it really doesn't matter where you come from because in the end you will bleed orange and green, that's pride.

I'm so impressed with the way the campus has grown and how much the reputation of the school and competitive level of applicants have improved since I graduated in 1981.

The weather is great. The professors and other students are really nice. It's really nice to be able to go to walk to class in shorts and a t-shirt all year round. It's also great when you can convince a professor to hold class outside because it is a beautiful day out. Having a philosophy class while sitting outside on the grass under a tree in the middle of november is just really cool.

I brag about the weather and the quailty of the academics.

I brag about the location of the school because it is a very serene suburbian area; however, the city is just a few miles out. The beach is very accessible and serves as a great study location.

When I open my textbooks in class, I often get covered in sand, because I spent Saturday studying on South Beach.

I live next to the beach, and in January, it is still 80 degrees.

The weather....it is always warm....My free time is spent outside which I love. It allows me to blow off steam playing flag football, lacrosse, etc. The atmosphere at Miami U is great. Everyone is so helpful. I broke my arm this semester and I can not tell you how helpful and understanding my classmaste and professors have been.

I brag most about the great academics, amazing weather, and great location.

The weather is nice all the time, so students don't ever get the blues. You can sit outside and get fresh air while you study year-round, and we get more excercise because it's never too cold to jog! we also have free tutoring for every subject, and kids who go to smaller or less helpful schools don't have this luxury. The tutoring center was the only reason I passed a very difficult class last year.

I mostly brag about my soccer team and how much I enjoy attending school at Miami for the academics. I also brag about the proximity of really nice beaches.

Miami has the best campus with the friendliest students. School spirit is always high. Going to football games and rooting for the Canes is so much fun. The nightlife and local area is fast paced. The party never stops! The beach is only a few minutes away.

The campus is beautiful and our facilities are very nice. There are always activities going on and there are always free giveaways! Our technology is very up to date and accessible.
