What you have to realize before going to this school is that the University is like the city itself - all style and no substance. You will be immediately captivated by the fun and glamour of Miami but it wears thin fast. Any positive reaction you hear about the school will immediately be prefaced by something about the great campus and great wheather. The truth is, once you get passed the palm trees and football team there isn't much there. It is basically an extended resort for rich Long Island brats who have no intellectual goals or talent whatsoever. If they weren't at Miami they'd be at Nassau Community College, but fortunately daddy has some money. And at Miami, if you can pay you can play.

I can remember my first weekend there, looking around and wondering how in the hell half these people got accepted. After that I got aquainted with the school's fraternity row, right out of a bad eightie's movie complete corvettes and roid heads everywhere. I want to make it clear that I am not speaking as some geek outsider that couldn't make any friends. On the contrary I joined a frat, was popular and partied hard on a regular basis. I just found it frustrating that a school that was so beautiful seemed to attract such a worthless lot of parent extorting snobs. If there is one thing true in life is that it's not where you are, but who you're with and I could not stand this school.

If you have an enormous hankering for cell phones, Prada, US Weekly and have a mindless herd mentality then by all means this is the place for you!

responseYikes! I actually really wanted to go to this school. If this is really how it is, I'm not so sure…
questionTo me, college is all about the name. You get a good school you get a good job. I mean education is important, but usually the experiences are what you learn from…so my question is, did the University of Miami name open any doors for you?
