UM...A World Within A City Exceeding the boundaries of its Coral Gables campus, the University of Miami has spread its wings across the city, throughout the state and around the world. As students come to UM from all 50 states and 109 foreign countries, those students bring their experiences and cul- tures to enrich the UM community, and then take back a piece of UM and Miami when they go home, spreading the name of this institution around the world. Located in the city that is becoming one of the singularly most important ports and trading centers, as the U.S. con- tinues to increase in trade with South America, UM is surg- ing forward with renowned programs in international stud- ies, such as the International Finance and Marketing and the new Graduate School of International Studies, as well as other social and academic opportunities. In addition, the University boasts courses offered from Lon- don to Nassau. The city of Miami and its environs have adapted over the last decade to accommodate different lifestyles. Miami is a growing city, and like most growing cities, it has exper- ienced growing pains, as has UM. UM, like Miami, fights to present its true, current image — that of a quality place in which to study and live. UM offers options that no other school can. Where else can a student walk across their campus and see students dressed, not all in the same garb, but in various modes of dress — from shorts and t-shirts to the traditional clothing of Malasian women.

Both career-wise and socially the University has stressed the importance of pathways available to its students. V . ' i ..V

' . WOr ' A ' lWtS ■ Photos by Bill Scherer cents of various voices may be heard, not only from your class- mates, but also from your profes- sors. Where else can a student be on a quiet, residential campus one minute and in the center of a busy commercial and social district a few minutes later. It ' s much like being Alice in Won- derland. You meet those of all per- suasions, races, creeds and colors. And yes, you have adventures. Ad- ventures which will stay with you for the rest of your life, after all the exams are taken and the degrees are completed. From the trendy palm tree-lined pla- zas of Coconut Grove, where you can listen to reggae music at an out- door bar, to the numerous glass boxes that make up the business and financial district of Brickell Ave- nue; Miami has it all. Miami is indeed a city of the future. From its heaven-bound and increas- ing skyline, to its newly-completed elevated Metrorail system, the city is looking more and more as it were right out of a science fiction odys- sey. And UM is a part of that future. The James L. Knight Center is considered UM ' s downtown campus, integrat- ing the UM community with Miami ' s commercial center. For the romantic, there will always be the white-sand beaches and the surf temperatures which approach 90 degrees all year long. Any college or university can offer you a degree. But very few universi- ties offer the music, theater, film, nightclubs, and restaurants — not to mention the scenic beauty — that Miami offers. There really is something here for everyone. From the nightclubs that outnumber the churches in Fort Lauderdale to the quiet splendor and recreation fa- cilities offered in the Keys, even the most cynical among us can find an enjoyable activity here.
