The Univeristy Of Miami is a school made for a student that knows when to sit down and open the books as well as when to go out and enjoy the unique atmosphere of Miami.

I dont think there is a single certain type of person that should attend this school. I think as long as that student is willing to appreciate his chance to go to this school and is willing to really try hard to be successful and graduate then thats all thats needed. Actions speak louder than words and they also speak louder than whats on paper, so if a student has that heart and will to work hard for his/her major then they should atleast be given a chance to show everyone.

While they say that you dont have to declare a major until junior year, you should have a good idea what you want to do coming in because taking a bunch of introduction classes is a waste of time here.
