The story of the traveler is so true.

My niece transferred out of GW after a year because she said all the girls wanted to do was shop and party.

Miami is a great school and does not deserve the party rep. They were not even on anyone’s party school list for the last few years, and along comes Playboy with their ridiculous method of calculating “party” and all the hard work Donna Shalala has done to stress academics at UM is wiped out.

FYI

Playboy used “days of sunshine” and “brains” as major factors in their calculations. That is ridiculous!!

Miami has very strong programs in Business, Medicine and Marine/Atmospheric Sciences, among others. They also have a great music school (Frost). Many students are there because of their very generous merit scholarships and are very serious about their studies.
