Almost everyone has heard of the University of Miami. |
my god |
Isn't Eckerd the one with all the financial trouble? |
Right??!! Was this person being sarcastic? I can't even imagine not knowing what "the U" means. |
I thought “The U” was University of Utah. But I’ve heard of U of Miami. |
That’s university of Florida. University of Miami are the hurricanes. |
| Miami was an amazing school in the 90s. Congratulations to all the future Canes! |
The “U” is University of Minnesota to me. Univ of Miami is not well known outside of the south. |
It’s rank around 50 is a product of Donna Shalala and later — so since 2000. |
They play D1 sports and have the same name as a major US city. Much more name recognition than Eckerd. |
I’m not the Eckerd poster. Maybe more than Eckerd but I wouldn’t go so far as to say “almost everyone has heard of them” either. |
| How much of a party school is UM? DS is interested but I’m afraid the whole Miami experience would be too much. |
| Our private (specializing in bright kids with LDs) used to feed to UM but the counselors do not recommend it anymore. Party school. |
| Very big party school. Rampant with drugs too but I suspect that all Big 10, ACC, SEC, schools are party schools. Miami is beautiful and the campus is close to everything. |
Right.
Meanwhile, on the east coast, I might not even know where Minnesota is on a map. |
