[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our student at UM is super happy there.

- Campus and weather both beautiful, and everyone is happy and upbeat. 
- [b]Kids are generally smart, look at the CDS, ACT 25/75 is 31/34. [/b]
- Our student is into sciences, plenty of good professors, labs and research opportunities.
- Football season is fun, basketball is lousy this year.
- Plenty to do - parks, beaches (try mid-beach or Biscayne lots of kids uber together to those), outside study areas, pool on campus, gym, neighborhoods to explore.
- School is penalized for the high rack rate (which most do not pay) and the idea of a fast, party school. Neither are accurate and if you think this school parties, try going to a big 10 or SEC school. Are there some sports cars? Yes, but that is now at every school.
- The key for us and I think other families is aid - our student received a great aid package that made this feasible. Turned down some other "top" brand name schools that did not offer as much or any aid and says they would not change a thing.

P.S. Housing is slowly improving but will take a couple more years. Two halls opened this year that are nice, two more in fall 2026 plus other options on campus should mean all 1st and 2nd years will be covered, not sure what will happen after that.[/quote]

75% of applicants are TO, so[/quote]
