[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is having a “typical” college experience if you count studying hard for a stem major –cheering on sports teams, having friends on campus, etc.

There are a lot of wealthy students and many are international-that’s true of all private schools in US. And there are also plenty of kids on scholarships and “regular” UMC kids.

There is simply no comparison of a school like Michigan or Florida to the University of Miami when it comes to the traditional college experience. The football stadium is 45 minutes away from campus. Most of the kids go to parties and actually don’t go to the football games. The campus does not feel or look like a traditional college campus. Not a bad thing, but it’s not the traditional college feel.

Beautiful campus, and of course students are studying. But, the University of Miami is not going to be your traditional college experience. An alternate style college experience for sure, but not the traditional college experience for those looking for that.[/quote]

PP here. I didn't say it was the same as Michigan or Florida -it's not. But it is a pretty good college experience and typical in many ways. It's a mid-size private university with good academics, a variety of sports and social opportunities, a contained campus in a good city.  Miami has greek life, school clubs, and a lot of school spirit for a small-ish school.  My DD is very happy there and did not pay 94K per year.  It's not perfect for sure but it's a good choice for many.
