Who's going? I'm going by myself & want to meet up with some people. It looks like the days are pretty full but I'd still like to get out & about in the evenings and look around, go out in South Beach, etc. I've never been before.

Of course as you know I'm going! Yea I definitely want to meet up with people while in Miami. Also need to try and find a roommate.

I'm going, and I might bring the wife. I can't wait to do a little sight seeing.

+1 on the roommate thing.

I think I'm going to be there early on Thursday...flights are a lot cheaper early in the am. I'll just have to take an extra day off of work. Tomorrow I'm going to work out the logistics - I don't know where I'm staying, getting to & from the airport, school, etc.

I'll most likely be there (pending grandma making it at least another week). I live in fort lauderdale and will be more than happy to offer pointers on fun nightspots!

I would love to visit, but I haven't found any flights from OH to Miami for under $400+...so if I don't find anything cheaper I may just bite the bullet and go--I'm hold right now, so im still waiting...and I'm sure a visit would do some potential good...you will have to let everyone know how your visits went and what the school and its neigborhood is like 8) Have Fun!

Unless Miami wants to pay for me, I'm afraid I can't afford to make this trip so soon after Drexel's ASD. :(

I can't afford it either, but that's what credit cards are for. It's free money! ;)

They don't fly direct into Miami!! Ft. Lauderdale only (which would be totally fine if you're renting a car I guess)

TKM - maybe you should chauffeur everyone around... :)

It's absolute insanity. Ultra, if you couldn't tell, is heaven for electronic music lovers. The whole thing is in Bicentennial park and there are stages and tents EVERYWHERE; it can be a little overwhelming because you don't know where to start first (although I could give you a few pointers if you planned on going). I've gone twice in the past four years: the first time was amazing, the second was like, "okayyy I'm getting a little too old for this."

I will be in Coral Springs which is basically Ft lauderdale, but to answer you question yes there is PLENTY to do in Ft lauderdale. LOTS of clubs and bars.
