I’m also a transfer student from this past semester, and I agree with everything the OP says. I transferred from a big state school (out of state), and I can say I saw the difference before even starting classes at the U. Most professors actually care about how you do in their class, and advisors want you to succeed in your classes and will help you get the classes you need. I have learned more about myself the past semester than I did the first 2 years of my college career when I was at my previous university. I actually changed my major once I started classes. (changing majors was easy, even as a junior) Sure, adjusting may be hard for some, but UM has a lot of different clubs you can join and find people with similar interests to you. Yeah, Miami parties a lot, but if that’s not your thing, there’s still stuff to do on and around campus. The weather is great most of the time (August is very hot and humid, the humidity died down after Irma, but it continued to rain a lot through October). The only complaint is the 45 min bus ride from campus to Hard Rock Stadium. Since OP covered a lot of it, I’ll leave it at that, but if anyone has any questions, feel free to message me.
