Tuition | UM Academies

Residential students are housed on the main campus in one of the University of Miami’s residential colleges used by UM undergraduates during the academic year.

Students have roommates and floormates who share similar academic interests. Trained residential staff live on the designated Summer Scholars floors with the participants to promote safety and wellbeing, and to create welcoming learning communities. Rooms are assigned by gender with male and female students on separate floors.
