Every college has its own signature signs students can relate to not long after starting the first semester. At the University of Miami, your college experience might be very different from that of your friends from back home. Welcome to Miami, and no, not the one in Ohio. These are the 20 signs that you will be able to understand if you’re a Miami Hurricane.
You throw up the U sign like a pro and make the most use out of the U emoji because let’s face it, “it’s all about the U”.
…because most of your photos are taken there when you are not on campus.
You end up taking numerous photos of the Lake Osceola area on campus or pictures of Miami that include palm trees. These end up on Snapchat or Instagram to make your friends back home jealous because “what is winter?”
Speaking of palm trees, they are everywhere on and off campus, making non-natives feel as if they live in paradise.
The wildlife on campus consists of way too many Muscovy ducks, a few colorful parrots, sunbathing iguanas, egrets, and ibises.
You end up at The Rat in the afternoons for some food and pitchers of beer (once you turn 21) before or after class. Sometimes you end up missing class a few pitchers later.
…or ending up in the DJ booth with someone famous spinning.
When midterms and finals come around you end up living in “Club Richter”, also known as Otto G. Richter Library.
Some students, especially the Chinese students, dress as if they are ready to walk the runway.
Luckily, there are stanchions placed around to remind you not to.
If you don’t mind the drive to campus and the high prices, you choose to live in Brickell.
It’s like losing your way in a labyrinth.
You also hate on anyone that gets off at the second floor considering there are stairs.
