TatianaWhile St. Thomas may not be ranked as highly as the University of Miami or U of Florida, college is really what you make of it. I live in Sunny Isles Beach which is one of the nicest areas of Miami and many lawyers at the building I work at have graduated from St. Thomas Law School. Again, it isn t Harvard but in terms of their earning potential and how well they are doing, each one of them live in an apartment that costs at least $3000 to rent a month and are very happy and successful. So the school has lots of opportunities for students and several of my friends went there and raved about the quality of education they received there.As for the city of Miami Gardens, it does not have a good reputation due to the fact that it is not a very affluent part of Miami. Miami Gardens is located away from the beaches and many of the residents there are working class. While the area isn t the greatest, you are able to live in many surrounding communities which are just as nice. I can recommend Sunny Isles Beach because it is on the ocean and known as Little Moscow with the amount of Russians there, there is also Aventura which is a very nice area and only a few minutes away from Miami Gardens and also Hollywood is a few minutes away. St Thomas does have a good police service to protect the campus and it is a very safe environment there.You could do a lot worse than St. Thomas but certainly it is a great school and really college is what you make of it.
bottom line is No it is not a good school just check its ranking and you will see it is a fourth tier school! the only school that is second tier in miami is UM, UF is first tier but it is in gainesville. It is also in a really bad area and it has religious affiliations not sure if that is okay with you.i think hurricanes should be the least of your worries natural disaster can happen anywhere and with technology you know way ahead when it will happen. I have lived here all my life and i am fine. if you are a good student then st thomas should not be for you for for a C student yes
Well Miami Gardens is in the county Miami is in, called Miami-Dade County. The city of Miami is it s own city, and the city of Miami Gardens is it s on city as well (even though Miami Gardens is suburbs lol) Yes, Miami is awesome, it s the best, but like I said Miami Gardens is not Miami. St. Thomas is a good school, and I wouldn t say Miami Gardens has high crime, but I do know the crime did increase there, but something you should know is that the crime there is nothing like the NYC, or Chicago, or L.A. crime, it s A LOT less. Places like NYC and Chicago have real high crime rates. It s not like you have to worry about where you walk or go or anything like that, well one because it s suburbs so you need a car, but you don t have to worry about anything. Miami Gardens is completely different from Miami in every way, Miami Gardens is suburbs, Miami is city. If you re going to St. Thomas, I would say do what s best for you, having to do with where to live. You could live in Miami Gardens, but you won t get anything Miami, you could drive to Miami, but it s the whole drive there and back. You could live in other places in Miami-Dade County that are close to Miami Gardens, that includes Miami. Really it all depends on what you want and wouldn t mind doing. I lived a short time in Miami Gardens, and I have to say that it is BORING, I would go to Miami and Miami Beach and other places in Miami-Dade County every time I would want to go out. Hurricanes? we havn t had any hurricanes in years, and I can tell that you are one of those people that has been misinformed about Miami by people that don t know. We havn t had any hurricanes in years, but when we do, we know way ahead of time, and have more than enough time to do what we have to do. The most is, taping up the windows in your home, and buying water and food just in case the electricity goes out (which it rarely happens and it s always for a short amount of time) and that s it. So to sum everything up, I would say Miami Gardens is a safe place to live, crime did increase but it s because places like Carol City became part of Miami Gardens, so if there s any crime it s only on certain parts, but I wouldn t be surprised if it decreased because I saw on the news that they got a new police sheriff or something like that and they had a plan to lower the crime. Also, it s boring, and it s all suburbs. On hurricanes, don t worry about them at all, honestly. And lastly, Miami is the best place I have ever lived, and I wouldn t live anywhere else. It s a city like NYC and Chicago, and just like the NYC and Chicago it has it s suburbs, so if you like suburbs you can also live there and still go to the city. You also live in Miami Beach, or Coral Gables, or any place in Miami-Dade County, in South Florida the place to live is Miami-Dade County, and no where else. Enjoy Miami, I know you will.

Same answer we gave to Kelly:Miami Gardens is a high crime area, though no more than many neighborhoods in NYC St Thomas campus is safe. Miami gets no more hurricanes than anywhere else on the SE coast.
Venice Beach, Santa Monica Pier, Griffith Observatory, Walk of Fame, The Grove/ Farmer s Market... what kinds of things are you looking for?Try asking this under Los Angeles instead of other... you will get some helpful answers :)
The Chinese movie theatre place, the disney shop, the hollywood sign, beverly hills, walk of fame,
Of course it s faster! How could it not be? The monorail s tagline is: Traffic is beneath you. There is no traffic to deal with on a monorail. You get from Sahara to MGM Grand in about 7 minutes (including stops and boarding). Taxis get stuck at red lights, crosswalks, traffic jams, DUI checkpoints, etc. The monorail is for everyone, no matter how you re dressed. Mostly tourist use it, but, even I have used it to get to MGM just because I couldn t risk being late. Their is no driver on the monorail and no other vehicles to get in accidents with. The LV monorail is the most efficient transportation system in Las Vegas, because you simply can not get stuck in traffic!Contrary to the person above that stated the monorail price is 4 times higher than a taxi . A taxi cost $3.30 just to get you 1/12 of a mile then it s $2.40 for each mile thereafter. They also charge you $.50 cents per minute as they re stuck in traffic. And the cabby expects a tip! Back roads aren t reliable as they re often jammed with other idiot cab drivers that don t want to sit in cabstands. The monorail is the most reliable and fastest transportation in the city! The cost is $5.00 per ride (you can t get even 1 mile in a taxi for that price).
The Monorail is much faster, but also more expensive. You can buy daily passes, multiple-ride passes, etc. You won t look silly dressed up on the monorail - there will be lots of people dressed up, lots of people dressed down, and lots of people in the middle.I would walk to Venetian - it s really not very far from Bally s at all. But I would take the monorail to MGM.
I would just try and walk to the Venetian. There is almost no advantage to getting on the monorail, and it is probably not more than 1000 yards.The monorail was originally built as a connector between Bally s and MGM Grand. The walking distance is more like one mile if you count the distance walking through the casinos. It can be a long walk for a woman in heels.
The monorail is definitely faster but you can take the taxi and ask the driver to take the back streets instead of the Vegas strip. I personally will take the Deuce (bus) from the Bally s to MGM Grand. No one cares if you are dressed up or not. This is Vegas Baby.http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/get-aroun��
Monorail is a lot faster and much more convenient, traffic is usually all day and very congested 12-5, Taxis get stuck in traffic a lot and its ok if your dressed to go clubbing on the monorail, lots of people do that.
Take it and you will get there just as fast. You do not want to wait on the cab line. So try it and see...Only way to enjoy life is to experiment.
The distance from Bally s to MGM and Venetian is so short I d just walk. Check out this map http://www.lasvegasmaps.com/stripmap.htm�� - the green line is the monorail. Notice how it s way at the back of the properties. If you re on Las Vegas Blvd. in front of Ballys, it would take just as long to walk to the Ballys monorail station as it would take to walk to the Venetian or the north end of the MGM.Monorail tickets are $5 per person per ride or $13 per person for an all day pass http://www.lvmonorail.com/buy_tickets/ti�� Taxis cost $3.30 for the first twelfth of a mile plus $2.40 per mile http://taxi.state.nv.us/FaresFees.htm
oh god yeah. The monorail is super fast and as traffic frequently doesn t move, even taxis are sitting still in it. However the monorail is also about 4 times the price of a taxi as well. No you will not look weird being all dressed up in the evening. Most people walk the streets during the day but when they are dressed up is when they will take the monorail. Of course frequently you will be the only people in your section of the monorail as well.The taxi lines in Vegas are never long. I don t think I ve ever been more than the 2nd person back--though I will admit I ve never left a hot club right at closing either. One way around it is to get a taxis business card. You can call him direct and have him pick you up. He will pull up on a side street but he doesn t have to wait in the line b/c you called him direct. Win win for everyone. That s what my friends do every time they are in Vegas. Tip really well the first couple trips and the driver is pretty much yours.
