As painful as it is for me to say this, the University of Miami isn't very startupy. We have a really great office on campus called the launchpad to help students start companies, but I haven't seen a single tech company come out of there. Most of our CS department is very theoretical and research oriented. However our ACM is pretty cool and we just had our first hackathon a few weeks ago. It was sponsored by twillio, microsoft, mongoDB, sendgrid, and a few other companies.
