This is an incredible institution. No one is a number at Miami, all professors (yes, PROFESSORS!) take their student's education as a priority. Classrooms are interactive, and learning is not limited by lecture based teaching. Educators do not stand for laziness. If you're at MU, you're here to learn.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Miami is a beautiful and friendly place. Even though it is a larger school, a community connection is made at Miami because of Living-Learning communities, and the outgoing students. I've made really good friends through classes, and we enjoy hanging out on the weekends, eating toasted rolls, and eating tuffy's ice cream. Miami is a magical place.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
It's worth it. What matters at miami is YOUR education. Why do you go to school? To learn. (Or that's why you're suppose to attend institutions of higher learning.) Students are offered a great range of classes per semester, and many valuable resources. I probably cannot count how many advisors I have on one hand! (And the food is fantastic.)
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If possible, attend an overnighter. It's the best way to judge the climate of a school. Visit with teachers, department heads, etc, but more importantly, talk to students (without faculty in hearing range). Imagine yourself there. Could you sit in King Library? Would you enjoy doing your homework outside, can you see yourself standing in line for an intense hockey game?
And, always keep your education in mind. What are your goals? And what resources are available to you to achieve them.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Anyone who loves to learn, and can take a challenge. Miami is often stereotyped as J-Crew U!, sperry's, northface, and Greek Life. However this is not true. (but it is a stereotype for a reason.) Although there is a prominent Greek Life, it does not interfere with other students, and rush does not commence until second semester. (So don't fear.)
But Miami is definitely a place to achieve. If you wish to get a degree, go online. Don't waste time here, because the faculty and students here CARE.
