🏠 Miami adds Hawks Landing to ease housing shortage. Located 1.3 miles from central campus, the apartment-style housing will offer on-campus prices to rising sophomores. Students can use public transportation with a bus stop in the Hawks Landing parking lot to reach campus. Despite this addition, some students still faced housing assignment delays until mid-summer. University officials remain confident that all students will eventually receive housing assignments as they aim to provide 8,000-8,200 beds for the 2025-26 academic year.

Implemented this fall, the model helps deans identify low-enrolled programs for potential consolidation or elimination.

The model also impacts Miami Plan courses, potentially reducing offerings in departments with lower enrollment.
