| Shortage of on-campus housing while they tear down one dorm and replace it, leaving many students with just expensive off-campus options. |

Very loyal alumni. Used to be a party school. Some great students who go there for the merit aid may be underwhelmed by the overall intellectual tenor, but it’s probably a place where you can learn at a top level if you choose classes thoughtfully and make an effort. Probably one of the best places in the country to become a schmoozer type of business person and make a billion dollars in traditional brick-and-mortar industries. |

Which will now include this thread for future Googlers. |

It's tied with Princeton on this ranking.

DeSantis is going to make your kid turn in their menstrual cycle. Great awesome school. Not a safe place for college students. |

| My child is very happy there but yes, housing is an issue. Go in with your eyes open. |

| Party school pure and simple. Students spend wayyyy too much time in skimpy bathing suits and barely there clothes. Very body-skin focused. Not a school for a truly serious student. Take a look at sorority promotion videos. Yuck. |

The city is trying its best to become a tech hub. If successful, should certainly benefit the University. Believe merit is pretty good for high stats kids. Unfortunately DS wasn't interested. He cant ignore the "state".

| My kid goes there. It is pretty much exactly how you would expect a private school in Miami to be. |

The city of Miami did a very good job of luring FTX and you know the rest of the story. So much for trying to become a tech hub. |
