miami girl standards

Honestly I think a lot of it is just a front. Girls see other girls who are seemingly perfect and put pressure on themselves because they think they need to be a certain way. I know Ive felt like this but once you get to know a lot of people you realize this standard isnt as true as it looks on the outside

It's not really true. There's a rich stereotype because people where certain brands in the winter and stuff, but when it's cold outside a coat from northface is going to be more effective than one from walmart (and will likely last longer). There's a focused/ driven stereotype because for the most part people who are in a 4 year university want to be there which is different than some people's high school experiences. As far as looks are concerned it's mainly cheerleader effect. Girls are mainly only put together for uptown or presentations (times when most people would be). I think Farmer requiring people to dress up certain days perpetuates this stereotype. Don't believe what you read about Miami on Urban dictionary and don't look at reviews of people who were too insecure about themselves to stay at Miami for four years. Honestly the girls I have met at Miami have been way nicer and friendlier to me than the guys have been to my male friends.

I mean I know I definitely dress a lot better now than I did in high school and Miami has been a huge part of that. There's a reason it's nicknamed "J Crew U". But I think a ton of that has just been girls seeing how other girls dress on campus and wanting to make themselves look nicer to fit the part.

this is a PUBLIC school. get over yourself. it isn't that big of a deal. dress however you want and be whoever you are

The standards are extremely high. Most girls that come to Miami are already like that because they were raised a very specific way and part of a certain society, come from that background, have always been well-liked, the prettiest, the best bodies, etc. As the phrase goes, like attracts like, and when you're a part of an exclusive crowd, you look for certain people to hang around. Miami provides that in a college.

In order to make it at Miami, the expectations are high. And that's good. Be pulled together everyday, work out regularly, be well manicured, clean, have your homework done, get good grades, hang out with the right people and know the right people, get a good job after school, have money but don't talk about it. Most are old money aka are WASPs, come from generations of money and are used to it and don't talk about it. As far as looks, wear the right stuff. I shouldn't have to go into this. Nordstrom, J.Crew, Vineyard Vines, Louis Vuitton, Lilly, Tory Burch, Chanel, Burberry, Hermes, Lululemon, Prada, Southern Tide, Yurman, Chloe, Celine, etc. Not showy, but nice stuff.

Last but most importantly, don't get on a Miami girl's bad side. She knows the right people to destroy you and comes from a very powerful network.

well I'm a senior in high school and I decided to check out a few student blogs and pages students frequent to get an idea of what miami is like. I'm upper middle class and like to look good. miami was my #1 but now after reading this I don't think I want to go here anymore

If you want the definition of basic girl who tries way too hard, come here to school.
