Review of University of Miami

from Coral Gables, FL

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

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.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

The atmosphere here is magnificent. An overwhelming majority of the students are incredibly dedicated to their schoolwork and grades, but, at the same time, there is a spirit of wanting to help one another succeed, rather than one of a competitive nature. Additionally, the weather (and campus) here is simply gorgeous.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

I understand that UM is a very expensive private school, and I know I wouldn't have been able to come here without a good amount of scholarship. But that is exactly what I have, and, as a matter of fact, more than 75% of the people that I know here are on great scholarship. As for the school's worthiness of its price tag, I would say that it lives up to one's every hope and expectation. and that UM will help you succeed in whatever you want. That's all that one can ask for.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Study hard, play hard. That expression is so easy to accomplish here. On the one hand, you have numerous academic facilities just waiting to answer any question you might have. On the other hand, there's the nightlife of Miami, complete with 18+ clubs so that everyone can be legally included in the fun. Another tip: have fun. It's okay if you don't know what you want to study freshman year. That's what college is supposed to be for!! Explore your interests, figure out what you love and how to make a career out of it. Learn to love to learn.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

-Dedicated students who want a school with a smaller to medium-sized population but one that still feels like a large university due to its programs, athletics, and environment -Students that want to have FUN -Students who don't like winter -Students who want an unforgettable college experience that truly prepares them for what lies ahead
