I’m pre-med too! And yeah the whole dorm situation is a bit tricky.
I doubt any of us wanna live in a dorm that’s not good at all considering the cost of Miami so it seems like we need to call and see what’s gonna happen lol
I’m local, I live in Miami lol but I’d recommend rooming with someone in the area. Rent an apartment or studio or something lol it’ll be a lot cheaper that way.
Wait… are transfers required to live in dorms??
Part of being in college is being on campus and meeting people in the dorms. If you’re renting off campus, no friends, might as well be in community college. Most people start in the dorms, then go off-campus.
But is it required? I already live in a dorm now at my college and really don’t want to live in another one
“Although transfer students are not required to live on campus, housing is provided to transfer students on a space-available basis in one of three upperclassmen residential colleges.”

We can all be friends even if we live off campus, don’t worry guys!
Did anyone hear back yet?
Not yet
Check out this Mahoney-Pearson video to view the rooms. It’s a 20-minute video but if you go to 14:23, you can see the newer furniture, locker, old floors (they bought a rug), old brick walls, and the bathrooms with old tile. The sinks are newer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUVIcpaEBrw
Nothing yet, unfortunately :((
@AnalMom yeah their dorms are pretty awesome. I stay local in Miami, but one weekend that had a huge open house for undecided students to come look at the U and get to know t better. Like a whole information session and an ENTIRE tour of the school, including dorms and complimentary food lol. It was fantastic. The dorms were new. Not like old furniture or anything. Definitely worth the money lol
Does anyone else have final transcripts with spring grades on their to do list? I talked to the school and they said don’t worry about it, but obviously, it’s preventing me from having my application deemed complete. I think it might affect me getting my decision sooner rather than later because I won’t be able to send these transcripts until May 02nd. This is annoying me.
I have final transcripts on my to do list they added them like last week but my application was deemed complete on valentines day are you a freshman @JAngel17
@byrd98 Texhnically, yes. I have over 40 credits not including my spring courses, but about half of them are from military service, which U Miami won’t accept. My application was deemed complete back in February as well, but they added this a little over a week ago.
I HOPE today is the day lol
If anyone hears today please say something lol
On the UM website it says we’re supposed to hear back early April
Anal Mom,
No offense to you but that was a pretty absurd statement. You don’t need to live on campus to make friends.
