<p>Univ. Village is just a block of campus by the baseball field. No main roads to cross. The campus buses go there. It is situated by many fraternity houses.</p>
<p>UM is considered a “party school” in my opinion because of easy access (though not so close) to party areas, ie, the Grove and South Beach. </p>
<p>I think it is somewhat more difficult to find your group these days because so much takes place in the dorm room… TV’s with cable, computers, cell phones, gaming systems. When us parents were in school not everyone brought up a TV. We had to leave our rooms to socialize and find things to do.</p>
<p>FYI- The students seem very happy at UM. It is a great place, plenty of outdoor time and things going on, on campus, during the day, to make you feel very connected to the “U”. Students are intelligent, there is a lot of research going on, advisement is great and the kids are treated very, very well.</p>
