<p>We are from Long Island.</p>
<p>Many wealthy, or middle and upper middle class kids as I can see. Doesn’t mean they are not friendly. Son has great, nice friends. None seem to be showy or off-putting financially speaking. </p>
<p>Form what I know (and I may be wrong) there lots of local kids that commute, so the campus is not crowded.</p>
<p>Personally, I went to a big Ten school also. My very small co-ed dorm made for a perfect way to meet people, fit in, and have a great social life that was ll dorm based. OF course, the weather was very cold, so we spent lots of time in the dorm and some in our great college town and of course NCAA sports. Before I transferred, I attended at small, NYS school (aka SUNY). Rural area. 6K kids. Miami feels no bigger. Of course Miami has a nicer campus and so much more to do. Nice the kids can spend time outdoors.</p>
<p>Are you planning to visit UM and FSU? Don’t do it while they are on break (week of March 16.) It helps to see both schools while they are in session.</p>
