University of Miami Reviews

I have had an excellent experience at the University of Miami. I started at the school during the Spring semester of my Freshamn year which made it a bit hard to meet people initially, but I found my people after only a few shorts weeks. I played club field hockey and joined a sorority, which made the adjustment easy. Academically, I find the school very challenging, but I believe I'm receiving an excellent education. I'm majoring in Health Sciences and this summer I'm working at a hospital as a nursing assistant. I feel well prepared thanks to some of the courses I've taken at school. The one drawback for me was I only had the opportunity to live on campus for one semester. Housing is hard to secure, so I've had to live off campus which I would have ideally delayed until my junior or senior year. The campus is beautiful and I'm very happy. I will miss Miami after I graduate!

My experience at UM has been one of the best challenging adventures of mi life, Balancing my academic responsibilities with my social life and adjusting to a new culture is still hard sometimes. I also experienced a period of homesickness during my first year, being far from my family in a new and bustling city. Despite these challenges, I found support through university resources such as counseling services, student organizations, and a close-knit group of friends who shared similar goals and struggles. These experiences taught me resilience, time management, and the importance of a supportive community.
In the end, my time at the University of Miami so far has been a blend of incredible opportunities and significant challenges, both of which contributed to my personal and professional growth.

Couldn't have had a better 4 years and more fun time! I lived basically like Alix Earle (college wise and not fame wise). There is something to do every single day. I was able to go out 6 nights a week and maintain my workload pretty easily. I absolutely loved all my classes and the professors. Most of my class sizes were small and very discussion based which I find best for learning. My professors were all super nice, available, knowledgeable, and understanding. Campus is beautiful! Greek life is take it or leave it, people involved really like it and I wasn't in a sorority but was still able to go to all the frat parties. I love the academics here and the party scene and I'm so sad I am graduating next week. Anyone can really find their place here and if you want to tan in January or a serious student you should come here and study by the pool. Only con of the school is the cost, but if you can afford it or get a lot of financial aid it's more than worth it!
