Everyone was so very friendly and helpful, including the interviewers. It was also clear that the students love UM and feel good about the new curriculum that was made from student feedback and will be implemented in the 2020 incoming class.

What impressed you negatively?

Things were a little disorganized in terms of running over time. But it wasn't a big deal - it all worked out.

to bring bug spray! Got so many mosquito bites hanging out on campus/in Miami.
