VISITING MIAMI
For those prospective students interested in visiting UM’s campus in Coral Gables, go to www.miami.edu/planyourvisit. There you can schedule a tour and information session as well as look for other activities going on in the area.
Is there a best time to visit? In order to really experience our campus, I’d encourage you to visit when students are out and about walking to and from classes and activities during the academic year. If you can’t make it down when school is in session, though, don’t worry! Tours are available nearly everyday of the year.
