Correct. Also, OP is a troll.

Of course OP is a troll. And not a very sophisticated one, either.

Miami girls will definitely be hotter as just as rich, if not richer.

If this is real, tell him to pick UCLA or Stanford. Lots of good looking people on campus, both great schools, and he’ll get a fun atmosphere.

It would be great if people would just report the troll instead of continuing to engage.

Does your kid have an offer to play their sport at Miami?

The real question is what NIL dollars are involved? Without a doubt, Miami pays the most and if your kid is a football player in a skill position could net several million.

However, he wants to go to University of Miami for the south Florida lifestyle, parties, and girls. I am very frustrated and am trying to convince him to pick one of the more academically prestigious options. He tells me that "college is what you make out of it, and the experience is the same everywhere."

What would you do if your kid were in this position?

Is this your same son who is "a recruited athlete at Andover, Choate, Lawrenceville, and St. Paul's."?

Or the one with a full merit scholarship to Duke and who is admitted to MIT?

Or the one who will be a boarder at "either STA or Episcopal High School'?

Or the one who apparently goes to Sidwell?

Or the son who is moving from Chicago and is ahead in math?

Or is this yet another son, perhaps one who is majoring in trolling?
