LilyMoon:

As with most private school populations, there are some arrogant and superficial people, but I think those are the ones you tend to notice the most. Sometimes you need to look a little harder to find the people that are more down to earth.



So true. I think acarta and Lily have it right although I would change the “most students” in acarta’s posts to “many students”. There are many students that fit the preppy, brand conscious, spoiled brat stereotype, no doubt about it, but there are many students that do not. Preppy is probably the last word anyone would ever use to describe my S and he has had no trouble finding other students like himself. He has a great circle of friends at UM who are just regular kids. If however you are looking for a school with mostly laid-back down to earth people, UM is probably not the place.

The UM website lists the following group under it’s student activities section. I would send an email to the contact address and ask for some more info.

GAY, LESBIAN, BISEXCUAL COMMUNITY (GLBC)
The GLBC fosters pride through education, awareness, advocacy, and involvement and provides support for all members.
