Hi I'm a male high school senior from Boston and will be at UM next year. I just wanted to get somebody's opinion on the social life at UM. While I like to go to parties and drink, and am very social, I really don't see myself going to South Beach dance clubs consistently. Will I be fine at UM? I talked to a freshman who went to my high school and he said everybody fits in and clubbin' isn't necessary. He's a very down to earth kid so I trust him I just wanted somebody else's opinion, cause I love everything about the school, there's just that one unknown. Thanks.

My son, who went there for 2 1/2 years wasn't into the clubbing scene when he first arrived but soon realized that was where the majority of social life existed. There are other things to do, they are just not as popular. Most of the social scene takes place off campus.
Ok cool. Frat and house parties I'm good with its literally just that I'm not into dance clubs and techno music haha. So judging by what you said I think I should be good. Thanks
I wouldn't say the majority of the partying is clubbing. I'm a senior and haven't been to a club since September of my freshman year and I still go out every weekend and party. I'm a bar person, so I spend a lot of time in the Grove. And there are always tons of house parties, which is what most of the freshmen and sophomores do.
Be warned abguitar: all social life is off campus. you will most likely need to take a cab everywhere and the costs pile up.
Also for bars you need a fake ID. i would get someone else's real 21 ID but thats just my opinion. sometimes bars are 18+.. Also bars/clubs get really expensive.
House parties are fun. frats are fun. but you should join a frat if you actually do want to do the whole frat party thing.
I'm not saying whether the whole "off campus" thing is bad or not. it just is.

Eh, pretty much everyone I know had a fake ID and I don't know anyone who got into any legal trouble. Just don't be stupid and you'll be fine. It is kind of a necessity in Miami if you want to go out. Plus, if you get someone else's real one, it's not a felony, just a misdemeanor. ha.
abguitar, I'm going to be a freshman at UM next year as well. A bunch of other people have said their only concern is that UM is the club thing, but then they learn it's not true. I definitely am not a club girl, I like house parties and just hanging at bars more. My brother goes to UM and he has never been to a club, so it isn't that big of an issue there. I think its more of a stereotype. Oh and Lilymoon hates the U so most of their posts will be casting it in a negative light. Just sayin'.

yeah dont get a fake ID. if you're gonna do that at least get a real ID from a friend who's 21. (I am not condoning this, just saying one is the lesser of 2 evils)
yeah i'm in a similar situation. I wanna party but don't wanna risk it with a fake ID. it worries me that i keep hearing that a lot of people have them and are "neccessary"
they arent necessary...but monday-thursday there are no frat or house parties unless your friend is having one in his apartment or house.
so tues/thurs are big nights to go to the bars at Coconut Grove. There is usually one or two bars that have 18+, but you can't buy alcohol there unless you have an ID you just can go in and get someone else to buy you alcohol

We were told at orientation that getting caught with a fake ID in Florida is a FELONY.
Think long and hard before risking having a felony conviction on your record. It will follow you for the rest of your life.
And unfortunately fake IDs are sort of necessary
