Review of Miami University-Oxford

from Cincinnati, OH

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

Miami University not only helps one to learn a lot academically but helps also in learning essential life skills. Besides the excellent academic curriculum Miami University also helps its students with skills such as time management and creating a resume. Miami teaches one to work in many different environments with many different people. I have personally learned how to efficiently use my free time and have conquered the art of studying.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I most certainly enjoy being on Miami University's campus. From the beautiful flowers and architecture to the friends and faculty, Miami offers so many things to enjoy. The University has facilities that many schools would dream of having, like its spacious swimming pool and ice skating rink. Miami University is also close to Uptown, which is an area filled with many shops and restaurants. Uptown is constantly filled with students enjoying its shops and restaurants. The dorm rooms are not as small as I've seen at other Universities. With a little TLC they feel just like home. The dorms and halls are kept exceptionally clean by an exceptional cleaning staff. What I most enjoy about Miami is the friends that I have made. Many people see Miami as a very preppy, predominately white school. Although much of that could be true when one truely looks into the University and meets people they would realize that even though many students might dress or look similarly, one will still find an exceptional array of different personalities all over the campus. My group of friends holds an array of different skin tones, cultural back grounds and personalities. My closest friend at the University is from Guatemala. This just goes to shoe that Miami has more to offer than what is seen on the surface and that is why I enjoy being there.

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

Miami has so many facilities such as its ice skating rink, pool, and its gym. Students also get free admission to events in those facilities, not to mention the delicious dishes prepared for students right here on campus. There are so many things offered that the tuition of the university is often shocking. When all those facilities are factored into the tuition it is often wondered how the price could be so low. It is most definitely a bang for the buck.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Thinking about going to Miami? You won't want to pass up the opportunity. The administration and staff are so kind and welcoming. If you do bring a bicycle (I have one and find it very handy) make sure to lock it securely no matter what. They are often preyed on by the bikeless. Also the food is delicious, but don't get carried away or you won't fit your pants by second semester. Get involved to meet people who are interested in the same things you are. Its a great way to do things you love and make long lasting friendships.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Miami has everything anyone could ask for. I am involved in so many different things. I'm involved with Miami's radio station as well as theatre and choir. This coming semester I have even decided to participate in Tae Kwon Doh. There is so much to get involved any student could potentially like the university.
