[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I couldn't even finish watching the video, it was so bad. Surely that's not indicative of the whole student body. [/quote]

It's not that far off, to be honest; at least for undergraduate greek life.

In Florida, the U of Miami is [b]widely perceived as a school for rich kids from out-of-state[/b] (typically the Northeast) who drive BMWs, wear designer clothing, pop oxycodone and/or cocaine and move back to New Jersey upon graduation.

Actual Floridians go to UF, FSU, UCF or USF.

I don't know about your drugs-related comment, but I agree about the out-of-state population--probably about 3/4 are non from Florida.[/quote]

My sister's best friend went there. Now my sister and her friend were not innocent types but her friend was like a kid at a candy store when she got to miami. Awash in molly, horse, coke, oxy. It is a very fast school that even party kids from the north east who get 'faded' find it insane with respect to the drug culture. [/quote] 
What a silly and ignorant comment- you just described every college in America a dear  with The exception of most of the Mormon schools!! Nephew is at Dartmouth and he tells the stories all the time that the insane drug use there.......no different than Miami![/quote]

Miami is certainly not the only school with drug problems, but it has a reputation for being worse than most.

It's just the combination of an unusually large perecentage of out of state, very affluent students away from home in a tropical paradise, South Florida club/party culture, yachts, Miami being a major gateway for drug traffic, etc.

Most students at your typical big state school simply can't afford, or have access to, the stuff that the kids at Miami do. [/quote]
