Knowing and loving this prestigious university is something University of Miami students do not take lightly. Located in the business and culture hub of Miami, it is a unique place. For us students it didn't take us long to learn the ways of a Miami students, so here are the ABC's of the University of Miami.
A is for Academics
UMiami is the top school in Florida. Holla!

Another essential Miami hotspot.
C is for Clubbing
Miami is one of the biggest cities for clubbing. With our students' favorite clubs being LIV, Bodega, STORY, Mokai, and many more. Clubbing is a religion here.
D is for Dooley Memorial
It is where our lectures are held and where we are tested on our class materials, because, after all, we are here to learn.
E is for an Excellent Degree
With Miami’s small class sizes, dedicated counselors, and professors, no wonder a degree from Miami is so noteworthy.

Our dear President Frenk, who’s officially the cutest old guy ever; not to mention a renowned writer and brainiac.

With so many fraternities or sororities to rush, you know you’ll find the best fit for you and expect good times ahead.

Whether it is Cuban food from Versailles, Spanish Tapas, Brazilian Churrasco, Argentinian empanadas, or any of the other Latin delicacies you can find in Miami, our students cannot get enough.
I is for IM Fields
It brings out the Brad Kaya in all of us. The IM Fields are also a great place to people-watch on slow afternoons after classes end.
J is for Jamba Juice
Jamba Juice is the best place to get a quick and filling snack before a morning of quizzes or a long night out with friends. One banana berry smoothie please!
K is for Keg-stands
Of course, a classic…
L is for Lake Osceola
Lake Osceola is not for swimming, but it is a beautiful place to sit by and study, tan, or simply chill.
M is for Mark Light Milkshakes
Mark Light Milkshakes are the best in any of the available 15 flavors. If you attend one of our baseball games, be sure to get one of these treats with a side of seasoned fries.
N is for not going to FSU
As our response to their fight song includes, f*ck youuuu Seminoles!
O is for Orange and Green
These aren’t just colors; here at the U, we bleed orange and green.
P is for Pitchers at The Rat
Nothing is better on a hot Miami day than a ice cold pitcher of beer at The Rat. Highly coveted by “of age” seniors, The Rat is a sanctuary after a long night at the library.

Nothing is better than football/tailgate season around the U. Whether you are a sports enthusiast, team lover, or a fangirl of the quarterback, there is something about UMiami football that we all love.
U is for the UC Pool
It's brand new and it's everyone's favorite spot to chill in between classes... I mean, we are in Miami, right?
V is for the Views
I mean, look at our beautiful campus!
W is for winning
With five national championships, numerous famous alumni, and award winning students, Miami is always #winning.
