)f(ef, ' s8afeto people leave experiencing Besides it being the home of UIVI, Coral Gables is one of the oldest and most prestigious re- sidential areas in Miami. With its pleasant old world architecture and its Spanish-named streets, Coral Gables maintains a spe- cial charm. When it comes to entertain- ment, the Gables is known for its number of continental res- taurants. Just ten minutes away from campus are such res- taurants as the Chez Vendome at the elegant David Williams Hotel, the Whiffenpoof, Charades, Le Festival, La Crepe St. Michel, and the French Connection, offering culinary delights that exceed the imagination. Since foreign films are being recognized more and more for their cinematic excellence, the Cinematheque, the Take One Cinema, and our own Beaumont Cinema provide the community with the latest European releases in addition to some choice Latin American and American cuts. Miracle Mile provides the stu- dents with the clothes and acces- sories needed for these heavy dates. - JC The Venetian Pools in Coral Gables. ill UM Surroundings 23

For instance, if you have the money, you don ' t have to confine yourself to living on the campus. You can live anywhere you want. A large percentage of our en- rollment is made up of commuter students. They live everywhere — from Ft. Lauderdale to North Miami Beach to Homestead. These come in four types, the most common of which are those who live at home with their fami- lies. Probably next on the list would be those who share apartments. Some claim this comes out just as cheap as living on campus, but that ' s doubtful when you stop to consider rent, food, utilities, gas, car maintenance, and, in some cases, even furniture. Others live in a sort of Three ' s Company arrangement — or is it more like the Doonesbury clan? In any case, these students rent houses in groups of three or more and live like families (or com- munes — whichever you prefer). In some cases, these students actually do live as cheaply as they would in the dorms since their household bills tend to be 24 1
