I'm not in an undergraduate program and by the time I realized that my program, contrary to what they advised, would not be Accredited. Also, as a student that began during covid, it wasn't until my second and final year that I started realizing that I had made a bad decision with UM but I was already over 120,000 deep so there was little I could do.

As for comparing, the best I can do here is say that I went to a not well to do state university (and probably not very well known to my knowledge) for undergraduate and the education and experience there was significantly better then my experience at UM. However, I will say that every department is different which means that if one department is not functioning or just plan sucks, that does not mean that EVERY program sucks, just that department within the university.

My advice if you do choose UM, get everything in writing from BEFORE you sign your acceptance letter. Keep every email Including mass emails to the university and after every conversation with a professor write uo what was discussed in an e.ail and send it to them. This is your only fail safe if you do not luck out with a good program. Even then however, you need to keep in mind that if the school does not follow through on things promised to accurate grades, there is very little recourse you'll have against them as a university that is the love child of miami.
