Miami University-Oxford Top Questions

Miami is unique in many ways, but something that stands out is the fact that Miami uses its size to their benefit. Miami's 15,000 undergraduates make it easy to constantly meet new people, but also form close relationships with students as well. Many of the other schools I considered were much larger and didn't really focus on getting the whole campus involved in activities. Miami's size allows students to participate in school wide events, bring people together, and create new realtionships that I know will last me a lifetime.

Miami has the prettiest campus around and the academics are excellent.

Overall, I think Miami is a great school in terms of meeting new people and becoming socially comfortable with things outside of your comfort zone. The academic departments need work because a lot of the profs aren't full-time so you don't really have a steady adviser to help you (I had 7 before I graduated in 2008). And while the students can be snobby and pretentious, it is easy to find people more like yourself in your dorm or in your major related classes. I am still friends with people from my freshman dorm and they mean a lot to me. Miami can be sold short on a lot of things, but the need to branch out and meet new people isn't one of them.

The stereotypes are true, but Miami is a pretty cool school. I was a little hesitant about going, but kept an open mind and I'm pretty happy about my decision. It would be a LOT easier and more fun if I was in a sorority, but it's still a great school, and absolutely beautiful campus. Lots of attractive people too :)

Overall Miami is a great atmosphere and I would recommend it to anyone looking for an A+ education and the greatest 4 years of their life

Living in dorms is required for 2 years now, which means that so is a meal plan. Dining Hall food is pretty good and there are usually a lot of choices. The food is really expensive though as is living on campus. If you are not a genius (relative) or poor you do not get scholarship money (thats an exaggeration, but I get no money from the school, except the in-state discount)

Miami does a lot with studying abroad. Take advantage of it! I didn't go for an entire semester, I went during the summer. It was wonderful. If you can do a whole semester, I suggest it. You'll come back in debt, it's inevitable. However, the experiences that you will have outweigh the costs ten-fold. As I said, Miami does a lot with studying abroad and they can work with you financially if need be. DEFINITELY take advantage of this opportunity, you'll be so glad if you do.

Miami Hamilton is a great school and I'm priveleged to be able to attend there. I would like to know more though about whats going on around campus and about the sports events.

Being from the East Coast, I can sometimes be labeled as a "Coastie," which makes people think I am even more snobby and pretentious than other Miami students.

Miami's Campus Crusade for Christ is out of this world AWESOME!!!!!
