The University of Miami

The University of Miami is not what I expected. When I decided to come here, I believed that it would be filled with snotty rich brats along with some genuine people that would take a little while to find. After a semester of attending, I have yet to find more than four or five genuine people. Whereas in high school, one in two people would be genuine and have a good personality. I thought that what I had heard about the school couldn't possibly be true, and it wasn't because it's worse than I had heard.

Cons—-Professors are either hit or miss. A lot of good ones mixed with a lot of horrible ones.

The people are more fake than instant bronzer. When I decided to come here I was convinced that my experience would be different than all the negative ones I read of. Yours will not be different, so do not take my review lightly like I did to other reviews.

A social scene consisting of really shitty house parties, really stuck up frats, hundred dollar nights at South Beach and OK nights at Coconut Grove.

Football games are two hours round trip and you need to get there early. They take up most of a Saturday and the stadium is never even near full. Always 10,000+ empty seats.

Anyway, I'm only one semester in and the aesthetics of the campus have already warn off and I can see right through the university. It's not the college experience you see in movies, nor is it the college experience most would want to have. It is superficial and should be avoided.

After only one semester, my heart is set on transferring. That says a lot, because usually I am the kind of person to set to something and fight through it no matter how much I hate it.
