Review of Miami University-Hamilton

from Cincinnati, OH

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

Each professor I have had does everything in his/her power to help the students achieve a superior grade and knowledge in the class. They all are willing to take personal phone calls, e-mails, office visits to discuss any problem or question. As a result, I am doing very well in all my classes because I utilize the professor's knowledge almost daily.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

Student activities are going on all the time. You can enjoy free ice cream and hot dogs on occasion as well as getting involved in collections for local charities. In the fall there are coat drives, and drives for food, old cell phones, and anything you have outgrown, are going on continually. There are very many clubs in which to belong and be active. Study groups are everywhere and tutors are available when you need them. It is an overall great place to learn.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

If your high school transcript is good, Miami scholarships abound. I received two in my freshman year which was enough to pay for classes and books. My sophomore year, where I am now, has also been paid for by one scholarship from Miami. It will continue as long as I continue to do my part and keep my grades up. It doesn't get any better than that!! After checking out many colleges, Miami Hamilton was the most reasonably priced. Same great teachers, same degree as in Oxford, but 1/3 the cost!

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Apply early to get in on the Harrison Scholarship. It is for the brightest students and well worth the effort. If your grades aren't quite up to that, there are still plenty of scholarships to go around, so don't hesitate to apply. They are handed out in the spring after the FAFSA is evaluated and transcripts of your senior year are sent. They also have super Honors Program.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

If you are not quite ready to leave home or have issues as I do, mine is Asperger's Syndrome, then this is the college for you. Great college life, while staying at home. Between classes you can hang out in a few different study areas, go over trouble spots with professors, see an advisor easily, get a tutor quickly, or just chill till your next class, without going home in between. This really is the place for YOU!
