<p>I’m thinking about applying to UMiami, and no offense to anyone, but the only thing I don’t like seems to be the attitude of a lot of students there. This review that I read describes it best I think.
</p>
<p>How true is this at Miami?</p>
<p>In my experience it is somewhat true.</p>
<p>On the other hand, you definitely don’t need to play the bro card to get laid. (This being one of the times you have to rub shoulders with other bros.)
For me the romantic European or intellectual approach worked quite well depending on how “clear” I was at the time. If you don’t really have a way to get with girls, then I doubt the bro mentality should be your primary concern.</p>
<p>Otherwise you can just avoid and ignore them, they aren’t that penetrant, and there are a plethora of different attitudes and backgrounds at UM. We are, after all, the most diverse school in the good old USA.</p>
<p>Also, if you’re intimidated by them acting tough (as if they knew how to fight, which they don’t) go ahead and join either the Brazilian jiujitsu or boxing clubs and your problem will be solved.</p>
<p>TLDR Screw em you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>Are there people like this? Definitely. But for me it was no worse than in high school. You’re always going to have people like that and at Miami you definitely have a bit more rich kids who have no concept of money, but I can assure you that it’s not hard to find normal people. None of my friends have the “bro” mentality, more like the nerdy mentality. There are people from all walks of life, don’t worry.</p>
