My opinion about Miami University Hamilton is that it was the best school for me to go to. I think Miami university-Hamilton was the best choice of school for me to go to because that school is the closest to my house and I have don't have to go to a school that's such a long car ride.

I had a great time but I think that's only because I had a great teacher in Ms. Michelle Lawrence while I was taking CCP classes during the summer. She was always accessible and I had a lot of fun in class. I overall had a pleasant experience and would recommend it to others.

My overall opinion of Miami Hamilton is it's a small quiet campus with hardly any problems going on because it's a regional campus of Miami University. This campus has plenty of clubs to join and a few sports teams but the best part is how cheap it is compared to the main Miami campus in Oxford. There aren't any stores in walking distance unless you drive downtown or to the mall but we do have a bookstore and a cafe where we can buy food and Miami gear. The faculty here are always nice and helpful they want to teach their students and help them when there is a problem individually if needed. As a regional student, we can still go to the other two campuses in Middletown and Oxford and take classes there if we want for the regionals tuition price. The only thing about Miami Hamilton that I don't like about is how little the class sign-ups are for summer and winter and how there are not many majors or minors to sign up for.

There is absolutely no other college I would rather attend. I feel both safe and valued as a student at Miami. I love that there are multiple campuses to allow me to choose where I want to attend specific classes based on my commute and work schedule. I am completely satisfied in my school selection. I wish they offered pharmacy program so I would not have to ever consider leaving.

It prouds itself as one of the best colleges in ohio, however it prouds itself by riding on Miami Oxfords name and popularity from what i can tell. The students are rather nice,however the professors seem a rather pretentious and act like they are too smart to casually explain their lecture when a student doesn't fully understand what is going on in the classroom. I used to love going to the calming cafeteria, however i would never serve the food to a dying prisoner on his deathbed, given the cafeteria is still up and running by the time anyone reads this message. It's truly a shame to see how downhill my college has become, but i hope for the best.

MIAMI UNIVERSITY HAMILTON CAMPUS COLLEGE MAKES FALSE PROMISES ! –
1601 UNIVERSITY BLVD, HAMILTON
POOR VALUE
MIAMI UNIVERSITY REGIONALS MISLED THIS VETERAN.. AS THEY DIDN’T PROVIDE ADEQUETE HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY BACCALAUREATE DEGREE, AS PROMISED !
MIAMI UNIVERSITY HAMILTON TOOK VETERANS G I BILL FUNDS AND MADE EMPTY/ FALSE/ MISLEADING PROMISES, AND DIDN’T DELIVER THE QUALITY PRODUCT [THE RIGHT TYPE/COMPLETE EDUCATION REQUIRED TO GET A JOB] FOR WHICH THE VETERAN PAID.
POOR INTERNSHIPS FOR HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
NO JOB PLACEMENT ASSISTANCE FOR HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
NO CO-OP WORK STUDY PROGRAM FOR HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY. -
– I SPENT 4 YRS AT MIAMI UNIVERSITY HAMILTON, AND GAVE THEM ALL OF MY GI BILL MONEY, AND MY GRANTS AND MY LOAN $ FOR TUITION !
I WAS IN THE 1ST GRADUATING CLASS FOR HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY BACCALAUREATE DEGREE, UNDER CATHY BISHOP AND DONNA EVANS.
THEY ALL TALKED ABOUT HOW EASY IT WOULD BE TO FIND JOBS IN HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY,.. BUT THEY NEVER PUT FORTH ANY EFFORT TO PROVE THAT THERE WAS ANY TRUTH TO THEIR CLAIMS !! AND I’M NOT ALONE,.. I’M NOT THE ONLY MUH HIT GRAD WHO CANT FIND A JOB !
THEY JUST TAUGHT THE BASICS OF HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY/EMR PRINCIPLES,.. THEY DID NOT COVER ANY OF THE ACTUAL JOB POSITIONS AND REQUIREMENTS, TITLES, DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES, THE LOCAL HOSPITALS, HEALTH FACILITIES OR COMPANIES, OR ANY OF THE TASKS AND EXPECTATIONS OF OBTAINING AN ACTUAL JOB IN THE HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY CAREER FIELD !!
I GUESS THAT AFTER 4 YRS OF SEEKING, I’VE CONCLUDED THAT IT IS SIMPLY NOT POSSIBLE TO GET A HIT POSITION W/ MY MU DEGREE [SO MY HIT DEGREE IS WORTHLESS, AND MY TIME AT MU WAS A WASTE!).. SO I MUST FIND WHAT ELSE I CAN DO [GOING BACK TO MY SKILLS BEFORE I ATTENDED MU] !
FOR-PROFIT COLLEGES LIKE MIAMI UNIVERSITY HAMILTON HAVE PREDATORY AND DECEPTIVE PRACTICES THAT HAVE EXPLOITED HARD-WORKING STUDENTS WHO SIMPLY WANT TO FURTHER THEIR EDUCATION.
MIAMI UNIVERSITY HAMILTON DOES NOT TEACH ENOUGH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY CLASSES TO BE KNOWLEDGEABLE ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO GET A JOB IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY !!
MIAMI UNIVERSITY HAMILTON USED THE SO-CALLED MANDATORY PRE-DISPUTE ARBITRATION CLAUSE REQUIRED FOR THEIR STUDENTS SIGN TO ENROLL - [WHICH WERE VIRTUALLY UBIQUITOUS IN ALL FOR-PROFIT COLLEGES ].
I TRUSTED THEM TO KNOW MORE THAN I DID ABOUT HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND IN GETTING A HIT JOB,.. BUT THEY DIDN’T!.. THEY LET ME DOWN! AND THEY DID NOTHING TO ASSIST ME !
THEY DIDN’T EVEN PROVIDE THE REQUIRED EPIC CERTIFICATION, WHICH IS NEEDED FOR ANY HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY POSITION !
THE REGIONAL DEANS [DEANS CATHY BISHOP & MIKE PRATT] NEVER GOT INVOLVED AT ALL IN PRESENTING ANY OF THE DEAN’S LIST AWARDS!
I HELPED THEM FORM THEIR STUDENT VETERANS GROUP, .. BUT THEY NEVER EVEN GAVE ME AN INTERVIEW WHEN I APPLIED TO THEIR [PAID] VETERAN’S REP. POSITION [WHEN THEY FINALLY GOT ONE EST’D] !
MIAMI UNIVERSITY HAMILTON DOESN’T / DIDN’T DO ANYTHING TO ASSIST W/ ANY JOB PLACEMENT .. AFTER PAYING THEM ALL OF OUR GI BILL MONEY AND TUITION !
All that MIAMI UNIVERSITY Regionals cared about was getting money!.. Billing was always quick to jump on you if your full tuition wasn’t paid in the 1st week of the semester!.. but I NEVER rec’d ANY JOB PLACEMENT ASSISTANCE, or any INTERNSHIPS, etc. ! I was never able to get ANY job interviews for any Health Information Technology positions based on my Health Information Technology Baccalaureate Degree from MIAMI UNIVERSITY Regionals !! I didn’t even receive all of the training that was required for a Health Information Technology position!!
NOT ONLY CAN I NOT GET A JOB IN MY DEGREE FIELD OF HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DUE TO LACK OF TRNG IN I T CLASSES AND EPIC CERTIFICATION, BUT ALSO THE MIAMI UNIVERSITY WONT EVEN GIVE ME AN INTERVIEW FOR ANY OF 10-12 JOBS THERE FOR WHICH I APPLIED ! .. [ INCLUDING THE VETERAN’S REP. POSITION, EVEN THOUGH I HELPED THEM FORM THEIR STUDENT VETERANS GROUP AND HELD A VETERANS JOB AND INFO FAIR AND FREE LUNCH EVENT THERE AFTER GRADUATING!)
[Customer feedback provides the opportunity for businesses to be better.]

Miami University Hamilton campus was way better than the Oxford campus. It was smaller and full of non-traditional students, so I felt like the education was more important than the 'scene' of being at college. Oxford is clique-y and very much a party school, while Hamilton was all about the educational experience. If I could've gotten my degree just at the Hamilton campus, I would've been much happier for it.

I love the campus, its a commuter campus and there is a lot going on during school hours on campus which isn't common for a regional campus there is also a ton of ways to get involved. The food is similar to some of the options on the main campus which is also great. Professors are easily accessed and amazing.

Haven't been there super long yet, but from what I've experienced it's a very nice place, the people are welcoming and helpful. The professors are available and there are always people to answer questions. The academics are challenging to keep you engaged and interesting.

I love Miami Hamilton! The classes and instructors are fantastic. The professors always make themselves available. There are tons of extracurricular activities to join. I love being able to get lunch in the cafeteria and walking upstairs to the library to study. My favorite thing about Miami Hamilton is the small campus.I feel like I know everyone on campus, and can have a real relationship with my classmates.

What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
The most important part about transistioning from High School life to college life is managing your time. Most people would think that this means you don't have free time in college, but it turns out it is quite the opposite. You have an overabundance of free time while at university and this can be difficult for many students. You will spend a very small portion of your week in structured class enviroment the rest is up to you. My advice is to make sure you spend time wisely, the obvious things would be studying reading, and doing homework. There are not so obvious things that are not always told to you while in high school. Things like taking advantage of your professors office hours. The proffesors are often looking for something to do during office hours so you might as well use this time to pick their brain. This will not only improve the chances of earning a higher grade in their class, but it will also help you build relationships with people with connections, for internships and other reccomendations. Whatever you do in college there is always time for everything, spend time wisely and you wont be overwhelmed.
Describe how your school looks to someone who's never seen it.
Miami University Hamilton is a safe and friendly atmosphere that is completely dedicated in the advancement of my skills and studies; I feel right at home here.
What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?
The students aren't very diverse and most of them have no interaction with Miami Oxford students. Because I attend both Miami Oxford and Miami Hamilton, I had thought more students would be in a similar situation. Though the education on both campuses is wonderful, the students that only attend Oxford seem to look down on those that attend the regional campuses. Also, the party atmosphere on the Oxford campus can be a bit wild and distracts students who have to walk by it to get to class or work. There have been some recent problems with this.
The best thing about my school is the location and the attitude of the staff, they are always ready to help and eager to assist with any problems I may encounter.
Students should be serious about academia, especilly if they plan to attend Miami Oxford in addition to Miami Hamilton. The school is very conservative, but they are getting better about accepting more diverse students. Miami Hamilton is welcoming to students of all ages, races and socio-economic statuses, but Miami Oxford can feel very exclusionary to those who don't fall into the student's world view of what a college student should be.
What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?
The undergraduate studies here are very highly regarded in many fields. Just because it is a small school does not mean that it has a lesser education.
My school is best known for the great nursing program that it aquires, but mostly our oxford campus is the one that is known. It is known for a lot of very smart people and decent sporting teams.
What's the most frustrating thing about your school?
The most frustrating thing is that, even though Miami Univeristy - Hamilton is a great university, it is not allowing me to explore the true college experience of living in a dorm and becoming more independent.
