Hey, I'm Levon.

And I'm Chloe
for YOUniversity,

the place where
college is seen.

Chloe, YOUniversity
is the college scene.

Fair enough.

As Will Smith says,
"Welcome to Miami."

We're here catching some rays
before we catch a tour of the U.

The University of Miami
is in the city of Coral Gables.

You have downtown
Miami 20 minutes away,

beaches everywhere,

and the beautiful
Coconut Grove right here.

It's a really unique type
of college experience,

being down
here in Miami.

You have, like, the culture
and everything

and you have South Beach,
downtown Miami,

there's so much to do here.

So it's just a
great fit for me.

UM's main campus
is on 260 acres of

blossoming and colorful
tropical landscape.

Many native plants, trees,

and arboretums
fill the property,

keeping the cultural
look of South Florida.

UM students come from all
50 states and 148 countries.

45% of the student body is
male and 55% are female.

The best part is 75% of classes
only have 25 students or less.

We're looking for students that

have done exceptionally well
in high school.

Those students that have been
heavily integrated in

honors and AP courses.

On the SAT, 1240 to a 1360.

The ACT score can range
anywhere from a 28 to a 32.

About two out of three of
the average incoming freshmen

were in the top 10% of
their high school class,

with a GPA of about 4.2.

So I found this,
it's really, really cute.

Except I think in Miami,
it gets a little warm.

Maybe for class
it will be good.

I think I have
something better.

Now this is more like it.

It's all about the U.

All students will pay about
$33,000 in tuition and fees

for one year and if
you live on campus,

you'll pay an additional
$10,000 for room and board.

At UM you can get involved in
180 undergraduate programs

from broadcast journalism
to international administration,

as well as
interdisciplinary programs,

dual degrees,
and honors programs.

At the University of Miami,
the most popular programs are

architecture, marine sciences,
business, music,

and let's not forget the College
of Arts and Sciences.

If a student is interested
in marine biology,

the University of Miami
is definitely the place to come.

We are a tropical marine lab

and the reef is
right at our doorstep.

So we have the capability
of actually studying animals

and studying
circumstances

right in their native
habitat very, very easily.

We go out in a boat
and 20 minutes later,

we're studying the organisms
that we want to study.

I'm a business
management major,

so, you know,
it's pretty broad.

I've had classes in marketing,

I've had classes in
accounting and finance.

Starting to take some of
the business classes,

I really grew a
love and affection

for the world
of business.

The Frost School of Music
is very unique.

We're starting something called

the experiential
music curriculum

It is a revolution.

It just drops a bomb on
what a music curriculum is

and it's going to
train musicians

to be much
more internal.

We have a new degree,

the Bruce Hornsby Creative
American Music degree.

It's a songwriting degree
and there will be very

well-known, famous rock stars
and songwriters coming down

and working
with the students.

Thinking of medical school?

Check out this;
the teaching hospital

at Miller School of Medicine is
one of the top 20 in the nation.

The University of Miami has more
than 2,300 full-time professors,

97% of which
hold Doctorates

or the highest
degree in their field.

With such a great
staff of teachers,

students are lucky that
they have such a low

student to faculty ratio, 13:1,
giving them great opportunity

for close interaction
within the classroom.

All the professors here
are willing to help you,

they're willing to give you
extra help if you need it

and I feel like I'm getting the
most out of my education here.

On average, we have more
internships than students here,

so there's no problem assigning
any of that kind of thing

and the advisors are
really well-informed.

You have to meet with them
before you sign up for classes.

So it's really great,

they always keep you on track
and keep you focused.

The Hurricanes
compete in the NCAA

Division 1 level
in the ACC.

The Canes are most known
for their football programs,

which is the country's
most successful program

in the last three decades.

There's just so many people.

It's always packed
in the Orange Bowl,

especially for the FSU games.

It's just--I don't know,

it's a really amazing
experience to be there.

Approximately 83% of
students set their cribs up

right on campus,
with 5 residential colleges,

an apartment area,
and the University Villages.

We have Sports Fest which is
where all the dorms get together

and are on teams
with their building

and just play all these
crazy sports from football,

to pool, to ping pong,
and dodgeball and everything

and everyone at the whole
university works together

and it's like this whole
big competition.

And it really brings
everyone together.

Miami offers more than
200 student organizations,

31 fraternities and sororities,
40-plus service groups,

and multicultural
student groups.

They also have three performance
centers and a cinema on campus,

as well as an art museum
and exhibition gallery.

So I joined Sigma Alpha Epsilon,
which is a IFC fraternity here.

It's a social fraternity,
so it's a good experience for me

'cause I got to meet
a lot of cool guys

and they've really become,
you know, my friends that

I'm probably gonna keep up
with for the rest of my life.

UM has seen a lot of big names
come and go through its doors.

They've also hosted lots
of presidential debates.

That's right and films
and commercials

have been shot
on the campus.

Sylvester Stallone
and Enrique Iglesias

graduated from here.

That's right!

So did Jerry Herman,
Gloria Estefan, the Rock.

Half of the NFL.

It's true.

If you want a school
that will blow you away

in their sports department,
educational option,

and unbeatable climate,
look at the University of Miami.

Thanks for hanging with
us at University of Miami.

I'm Chloe Dolandis.

And I'm Levon Harvey,
we'll see you next time.
