| It's only a distraction if you let it distract you. I mean, I was never a huge partier/clubber in high school and I grew up not too far away from South Beach.
If your'e more of a person who is a leader and not a follower, then falling into the trap of jeopardizing your grades should not be a problem. Everyone just needs to find their balance between working hard and having a good time.
There is no disagreement, everyone who attends Miami has potential and displays an intense level of intelligence and hardwork. However, some of the more, "how do I put this", more financially well endowed students tend to get into the habit of skipping class and partying at the Grove and South Beach every night. However, it's nothing that I wouldn't expect. Some of these student's parents just cover up for their children. If they crash their brand new Mercedes Benz CLK. "Oh, don't worry about it, we'll get you another one." These parents have never really been tough on their kids and then they just continue their cycles and one day when it's too late, they realize that certain people and places won't put up with them and give them another chance and then they fail out. Not saying this happens to all, but it is common among many students. |
