Matt, I'd forgotten about you buddy. I remember you & 'Moe Dank' (if I remember, he was in PB as well) from way back on the EF board.

it's south america with less kidnappings.
ever think it'd be possible to hate your own ethnicity? i didn't till i moved here
fortlaud said:Mylife, UM is OK, but you are right about the cost effectiveness issue & though they have a well known football team I'm not sure its THE best place for academic repute---but again, its not the worst either. If you wanted an international MBA & your goal was specifically to crack into one of the major companies with a Latin American focus then it wouldnt be bad. A cheaper alternative is FIU (the public university in Miami): this is a large (40-50,000 students) research institution with VERY reputable programs BUT outside FL, Latin America & the Caribbean no one has heard of it. I understand UF is starting an MBA satellite program in the area---but the state schools will really nail you with out-of-state tuition---but it would still be cheaper than UM.
mylife said:actually i'm in PBC so i don't have to worry about out-of-state costs. UF is my first choice but I haven't received an acceptance letter. should be hearing back any day now.
did you attend the WMC in miami this year by chance?
fortlaud said:Dude if you are local & you are looking into grad school for business, you should look into the UF satellite MBA program. If youre an undergrad I think you'd probably like FIU better than FAU---it would be worth it to pop down the turnpike and look around the U Park campus.
Whats WMC? I guess you can infer from my question that I didn't attend ; )
Cheers
fortlaud said:Have any of you guys in FL ever bought a car from a Maroone dealership? Someone told me they lure you in with deceptive ads & then stick it to you on the rear end with "document" and "dealer" fees, etc. Any experiences with them?
fortlaud said:Mylife--I might be telling you something you already know, but FIUs U. Park campus is near Coral Gables/UM & their Biscayne campus ain't far from South Beach & that area, so if you wanted to fart around for 4 years....
Nite dumplins
mylife said:miami is awesome. i want to transfer to UM for the social and cultural aspects but it's too expensive for the quality of education.
if i can't find work in manhattan i'll probably end up in miami. san fran would be tight too but it's a dying city.

calveless wonder said:Miami is a love and hate relationship. I live on miami beach, which i do like in alot of ways. But there are so many downfalls to the city.
-The drivers are THE worst in the united states. Hands down.
-Half of the people don't speak english, and look at you funny because you don't speak THEIR language.

Sassy69 said:I thought they were bad drivers until I moved to Atlanta. NOTHING competes w/ the dipshits here. Every day there's a semi flipped over leaking gas or some toxic content. Every freeking day. The worst u get in I-95 is the old guy who can't see over his dashboard, some uninsured illegals rearending someone or a few drive bys.
I agree w/ the language thing - u only go to miami if u have ur passport w/ u. And I don't speak Spanish. Otherwise its the cheap French Canadians.
