My daughter is planning to go to Miami in the fall and is super excited. Last night she got off the waitlist at Madison and was accepted and so now she is conflicted. Two very different experiences but wonder if any of you internet strangers has a perspective? Miami seems so great and she really wants to find “her people”.
Do NOT rent a place at 715 W Chestnut. Sewage coming up into dishwashers and kitchen sinks (multiple units), illegal and hazardous construction work with clouds of concrete dust effecting residents health, faulty electricity, water leaks and black mold, owner entering units without consent… absolute NIGHTMARE.
My son will be an incoming freshman and attending orientation in early June. Do most Farmer freshman take a similar schedule? What choices are available? Any suggestions/advice?
My daughter is going to be attending Miami in the fall but will be commuting and living at home. She signed up for a freshman orientation spot and Miami acts like parents frequently attend this as well. If you went with your child to freshman orientation, what was your role there? Did you find it necessary to attend? She has a friend who did this last year and said he thinks he would have been fine going alone, so I don’t know.
Hey Redditors, my niece was accepted into the summer week long program on campus. She’s so excited and it makes my heart so happy. I’d love to get her an outfit or an accessory like a cute backpack, watch or whatever she may want or need. I’m open to flying home to go shopping with her but may not be able to swing it with work.
I know it’s pretty vague but any ideas are welcome. If I need to just have her pick something out and order it I’m ok with that (best for clothes if I can’t come in person) but any ideas around what’s popular for students to wear on campus would be great. Any other ideas of cute things I could gift her would be appreciated. TIA!!
Wondering if I could get some more information about the refrigerators that Miami says it provides for each dorm room. Do they have a freezer section, and if so, does it work well enough to actually keep things frozen? (Ice cream, make ice cubes, etc.?) Are the shelves adjustable? How is the interior door’s storage set up? (Those can holders like in hotel fridges or a shelf that can fit a half gallon of milk?)
Basically we’re trying to shop for food storage containers that will fit and stack well in the space. How deep and how tall are the shelves?
How about the exterior? What are the outer dimensions (HxWxD?). I’d like to buy a shelving unit that goes over the top of the fridge, but have to make sure there’s adequate space for the fridge in between the legs of the shelf unit so that it slides under the upper shelves.
Side question: do all dorms have hard flooring, or are some carpeted?
Thanks!
Not sure if I can post this here or not but the Armstrong Panera has had a roach problem since February. They have not been found directly in food at all, but have been found in the restaurant concept. It’s not like a ton have been found, but on a somewhat consistent basis employees will find live or dead roaches on the floor. Unsure if the other restaurants have the same problem.
Admin and management all know about this and have done a couple things to try to fix the problem but it is ongoing. They think an Armstrong employee could be bringing them in unintentionally. I think it’s messed up that they are still serving food without warning students at all about any potential risk so please tell you friends to eat at your own risk.
