<p>I guess a lot of people from outside Florida are just getting to know UM as a solid institution, but if you lived here you would know that you are dealing with the best University in Florida and one in the best in the US. UM Health is probably among the best network of research and medical care facilities anywhere in the country. The Bascom Palmer Institute, the Project to Cure Paralysis are all part of the U.
What Donna Shalala is now doing is revamping the Engineering and the school of Business so they too can became as successful as their medical school. Most universities are at a stagnant phase in time, but the U is at an exciting time of growth. Academics are taking seriously, and most kids that come to only have a good time realize that the either they shape up or they ship out. No one can convince you were to go. You have to believe that where you are going is the right place for you and you have to ultimately feel pride in attending that institution. Good Luck in your decision, I am sure it will be the right on for you.</p>
