Dy156:
Im not trying to make you eat your words... BUT, you need to be educated a little more about the University of Miami...
The University of Miami is a Private school with about 15,000 students, tuition is roughly $25,000 per year (in state). The university has one of the best Medical Programs in the Nation!, If you want, just google Miami-Jackson Memorial Hospital, Its a HUGE Facility, that has students doing research, etc.
Considering that we just moved into the ACC, it certainly has some merit that we are Academically prestigous considering the caliber of schools in the Conference. (I know, I know... Football had a lot to do with this move... but.)
On top of that, UM, has one quite a few BASEBALL National Championships, we have one of the best programs in the nation... Other top ranked athletic teams at Miami include, Swimming, Track (ala Lauryn Williams, gold medalist), Tennis, etc....
The school has the reputation from people outside of South Florida that UM is ONLY a Football school... but it is far from the truth... Obviously football is Top Dog though...
I DO NOT attend the "U"... I attend Florida International University. Though I love my school, I could only have wished to go to UM, well, Im ONLY $22,000 dollars short
I hope I have enlightened you and others some... btw, its a very beautiful campus as well.
