Miami University-Oxford Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at Miami University-Oxford accurate?

Allie

The stereotypes are somewhat accurate but not as negative as they may seem. Yes, many Miami students and their families are wealthy, however, it does not mean that the students are rude. I have met lots of great people at Miami, and although it sometimes has an uppity feel, it's not something that I haven't felt when I've visited other schools. It's just the nature of college.

Kendra

I don't believe these stereotypes are accurate. The majority of Miami Hamilton students chose the branch because its either closer to home or cheaper than Miami Oxford.

Kristen

NO!

Casey

For the most part, but obviously not 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} true.

Kendra

no, although there may be some people on Miami's campus that fit this sterotype, not everyone at Miami is like that...there is a place for everyone to fit in

Tiffany

Yes and no. You can find people who are the stereotype... but you can find some who aren't

Matthew

Mostly, becuase people try to conform to them

Andy

For the most part; However, Miami is making every effort to increase diversity in its student body population

Angela

Just like any other stereotype, they are true to an extent. Everyone at Miami is not your typical preppy frat boy or sorority girl. Although you see some of them walking around campus, this stereotype is based on a very small percentage of students. Our campus is small and very pretty especially in the fall. Almost every single building is brick and everything matches. It is very difficult to get into Miami and our business school has consistently been ranked in the top 20 business schools in the nation. The nightlife is a little more upbeat than other schools. Most people meet uptown around midnight and it is very likely to see lots of people you know when you are out. Oh and I almost forgot to mention Miami is known to be one of the best at Hockey and Syncronized Skating. Football, not-so-much, since Big Ben left.

Miami isn't very diverse. A lot of the students are pretty wealthy but not all of them are.
