I have asked many ppl about how welcoming and or arrogant ppl are on campus. Well here is the response i got from many (including a video i found from theU):

Most ppl are really wealthy (logical due to tuition) and dress really well. Most ppl do dress preppy and ppl for th emost part are dress conscious. I dont really mind becuz well, I like dressing sort of preppy.

There is a lot of diversity on the campus. Miami from personal experience as i have lived in 5 countries, does recruit heavily outside the U.S. The majority though of international students are spanish speaking from Latin American or chinese from Asia.

Are ppl arrogant? You have a pretty descent sized Laguna Beach wannabe crowds. Generally that group is really arrogant etc… In my high school i have studied amongst them and well I didnt love them but managed to get a long.
HOWEVER, everyone has told me this IS NOT the majority. There are many interesting ppl on campus who are very welcoming and friendly unlike the shallow Laguna Beach crowd.

I dont know anything about a gay community at UM. I will be frank with u, I dont think theres even an organization listed with relation to that sexual orientation. However Miami is a huge, cosmopolitan city where from what I hear is quite liberal in certain parts (south Beach). Coral Gables though, is not that liberal.
