    i have never been but my friends went last year. although they had a brilliant time, 2 of them came home in mid july cos they couldnt get jobs also they got no accomodation and had to fork out money to stay in hostels. they said the weather was very unpredictable aswell...it could be hot for a few days then like rain for a week. they said that there wasn't alot of J1 students there either (which is either good or bad, what ever you prefer).

    Myself and a few friends are going to Miami this summer. We've already got a house 2 minutes away from Collins ave. Go onto vacationrentals.com and have a look at places. What dates are you's going from?
