UM, actually situated in Coral Gables, FL, is a university whose attractive landscaping and stylish student body belie its weak academic caliber. Since UM isn't the party school it once was, its continued purpose, independent of NCAA merchandising, is not entirely clear. The lake tends to stink, and its Film and Jazz departments are the only ones worthy of the name. Cool places to go on campus include the banyan tree near the Physics building, and the roof of Eaton RC.
