  6. Have coffee with an acquaintance friend – Share a cup of coffee or just some quality time with the folks you don’t see every day. While you’ll probably stay in touch after graduation with your roommates and closest friends, there’s still time to get to know a few others to solidify a friendship before leaving Miami.
