REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingThe Cool thing about UM is the diversity of the school and the city of Miami. I've met people from every corner of the country and the world and that's the best part about college, of course learning in class but also learning from those who are not the same as yourself.
Jude from Miami, FL
One of the great things about University of Miami is that they have top-notch professors in every area of study. Also, small class sizes allow students a lot of one-on-one time with professors to enhance the learning experience.
Brittany from Miami, FL
The professors here are truly one of a kind! They are doing individual research so they are very in love with learning and helping their students! I don't know of a better university of this level of student-teacher interaction. They are vivid and legendary professors at this University!
Mashail from Boynton Beach, FL
As far as academics go, its a competitive field. So come ready to learn many new and exciting things from top of the line professors, many whom have a number of years experience in the subjects they teach.
Jazzmyne @ UM
I am currently seeking a dual degree in Computer Engineering and Psychology, with a double minor in Theatre and Mathematics. THAT is a lot to be studying! But University of Miami really makes it all possible! Here, they want you to study whatever you want, which is one of the major reasons I decided to come to this amazing school.
Rachel from Coral Gables, FL
the university of miami is an extremely beautiful college with a focus on the students. the academics are challenging and rewarding, but the school also has top-tier sports teams that students can cheer on to relieve their stresses. this is all set in the culturally diverse city of miami, where students can experience multitudes of cultures before graduating.

This university offers a lot of different programs for students. They have different fields of study, and have over 200 majors to choose from. With small class sizes, as a student, you really get individualized attention. In the School of Communication, my class sizes are no more than 20 people per class. They also offer many study abroad programs, some venturing to places one would never even dream of going out to. Some of these places include Moscow, Morocco, Israel, Egypt, China, and South Africa. Opportunities are endless here.
Bijal from Pembroke Pines, FL
The University of Miami is a prestigious school with a lot to offer. The school is diverse and gives a small university feel in a big town environment. The University of Miami is a great place to go to school because it provides a good degree, has something for everyone, and is located in beautiful Miami.
Maureen from Webster City, IA
Even some of the introductory classes are harder than high school classes. If you're in the honors program, you will be challenged by the honors classes, but if you aren't, the second level classes (especially in science) are very challenging.
Sal from Metairie, LA
There is wide variety of classes that students can take. Even if you already know what major you intend to study, the opportunity to take classes outside that specific study is always available. The professors genuinely care for each student and are always willing to help with questions or concerns.
