Miami University-Oxford Top Questions

Miami is just right. Its probably been said a million times before, but Miami is a big school with a small school feel. Walking around campus, I see lots of people I recognize and know. But at the same time, they're will always be someone new to meet. You can be sitting in classes with 15 people or with 400 people. The big picture: MU is amazing. You can get a great education while managing to have a LOT of fun.

I love the size of Miami. When I think of a college town I picture Miami. There is always something to do, somebody is always doing something, there is always a party to go to and always somebody to go out with at night.

Miami has a beautiful campus (which is what attracts most people), but the administration doesn't tell you that it rains 90{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the time you are on campus. The beauty lasts the first month you arrive and the last month when you leave, but the rest of the time it is cloudy, raining, and depressing. However, it has to be said that people who graduate from Miami have a great advantage. Miami is known for its high standards and once I told companies where I graduated from, the response was always positive and they seemed impressed.

There is nothing good about this school at least in the art department. The professors as well as the students are conservatives with some sort of mission to dictate the art around them as pieces which are simply out to shock. The creativity of the other students is extremely low and most put absolutely no effort into their work because they would rather spend their time drinking. This is a party school. I seriously doubt a spot of intellectual air even exists within the confines of this campus, which is beautiful, but destroyed by the self-consumed zombies wearing North Face jackets, Uggs, Louis Vuitton purses, and Gucci sunglasses.

I love the campus!! It is beautiful. The entire campus is made up of red brick buildings. The best time to visit Miami is either in the Fall or Spring. This is because their are many trees at Miami and during this time they start to change colors or in the spring the flowers start to bloom. The one thing I would change about Miami is the Greek Life. Greek Life is huge at Miami. A good majority of the students either belong to a fraternity or a sorority. There is nothing wrong with that I just think that it is all overrated. Usually when one joins a fraternity or a sorority partying takes place. By becoming a member of the greek life at Miami, ones schedule can get busy as the sorority or fraternity requires them to do certain activies. One other thing that I don't like about Miami is that a lot of students like to go uptown to the bars starting as early as Wednesday evenings. Although, you will have this at any college. Overall, the size of the campus is just right. I believe there are around 16,000 students. The campus is not too big but at the same time, not small enough that you know every face you pass on the way to class. I do like how Oxford is like a small college town. It seems like a lot of things are centered around the University. There are many little restraunts uptown and they are all within walking distance. My favorite is the Pita Pit, which is basically like a subway only whatever you decide to have in your sandwich is wrapped in a pita. My favorite place to hang out uptown is You're Fired. If you like crafts you would enjoy going there because you pick out any piece of pottery and then paint it. It is a fun place to hang out and a great place to make gifts for family and friends. There is not a lot around Oxford, but there is a bowling alley and of course you can also go ice skating at the arena or attend any sporting events. I will say that if you come to Miami, you need to go to a hockey game whether you are a hokcey fan or not. I am not a hockey fan, however, this is the biggest sport at Miami. Games are fun to go to and this is where you will find most of our school's pride.

The campus is beautiful; it's exactly what a college campus should look like. The size is perfect, not too big and not too small. There's something for everyone.

Miami is perfect. We have a campus that looks great all year round. It's just the right size, not too big and not too small. It has something for everyone. Although its in a rural part of Ohio its very charming. Its also a school very thick with unique traditions and school spirit. It's hard not to love it!

One big problem i have with Miami is scheduling classes. They never have enough classes and you have to take hours in order to force add every class that you need to take. Another big problem with Miami is their policies on drinking. They are much worse than most schools when it comes to enforcing underage laws.

Best thing about Miami is definitely the campus. It is absolutely beautiful, and the size is perfect - not too big, not too small. You don't feel like you're in high school because you don't know everyone, so there's plenty of new people to get to know, but it is also very likely that you'll run into someone you know too, so you don't feel lost in the crowd and overwhelmed. When I tell people I go to Miami they automatically act if I am in a sorority, or ask where my Northface is at. It's funny. It's just at stereotype -- a lot of people are in a sorority or fraternity, but it's perfectly easy to survive and flourish if you aren't in one too. We had a couple of controversies in the '07-'08 school year. First was with the art project of a noose, that a lot of people were offended over. The other was with the kid who was tasered to death. We also had a couple of people die on campus in '06-'07 due to trains. It was really weird. But for the most part, there is little controversy.

The size of Miami is just about right. I feel like there are enough people that you can meet the right type of people for you, but at the same time there arent 50,000 strangers on campus either. I spend most of my time on campus because there isnt much to do off campus. Other than going out on the weekends uptown to maybe a restaraunt or bar there isnt much to do uptown. There are plenty of people that have the same problem though so together you can always find something fun to do. The administration at Miami has been very helpful and friendly during my four years at the school. When it comes to school pride there is lots of Miami Tradition. The football and hockey programs have very strong histories which helps create a great atmosphere. One thing that really does bother me alot is the housing situation at miami. For anyone that wants to live off campus you have to sign a lease in october for the following school year that starts 10 months later if you want to lock up a nice house. It doesnt seem fair to make students choose who they want to live with the following year when they have only been at school for 1 or two months.
