Miami University-Oxford Top Questions

What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?

Myles

When old acquaintances asks me how my day was, I say "good" When they asks about my job, I say, "okay" When they asks about my vacation, I say, "fine" but when they asks me "How was college?" I say "It was great, I had so much fun being and I ready to go back for my sophomore year!"

Theodora

What I find most worth bragging about when I'm telling my friends at other schools about Miami University is the social life. There was something to do every night and there was someone for everyone to become friends with. Despite the fact that I felt out of place among many of the students, I made some of the best friends I'll ever make while I was there—friends I could talk to about anything from politics to my emotional well-being.

Natalie

When I brag, it has to be because of the class sizes. Smaller classes sizes lead to a better one-on-one relationship between faculty and students. Also, the small class sizes make it easier to ask questions during lectures and seek more help.

Matthew

Miami is beautiful, the campus is big but accessable and the people are great. The best part though, is that you get to choose what YOU want to do and Miami helps you get it done.

Tara

I usually first brag about Miami's beautiful campus. From the wooded scenery to the brick buildings and streets, it will forever be my little piece of Heaven on Earth. Then, I brag about my amazing education that I received at Miami. I like to tell people that in the 2013 edition of America's Best Colleges, U.S.News & World Report ranks Miami 3rd among the nation's top universities for its commitment to undergraduate teaching. I'm proud to be a Miami Redhawk.

Dawn

Miami University provided me with an excellent and challenging education that prepared me for the world after graduation. The professors and courses were challenging and forced me to think outside of the box on a daily basis. I was encouraged to reflect upon myself and to follow my own path. I was faced daily with many challenges and then required to face the rewards or consequences of those decisions. Miami University shaped and molded me into the woman that I am today.

Fred

Miami has awesome research programs for undergraduates. I will be doing undergraduate research this next summer as a Freshman which is pretty awesome! They also have an amazing study abroad program that is very helpful and pushes for the chance to learn in another country. It is pretty awesome to have these two very amazing oppurtunities.

Samuel

Beautiful architecture and picturesque college town atmosphere.

Kelly

How much fun I had while at school! Miami University of Ohio has great sports programs, where it's FUN to be a spectator. It has graduates like Ben Roethlisberger in the NFL, and Ron Harper in the NBA. It has a quaint "uptown", where shops, restaurants, and bars line the street. And the fact that poet Robert Frost described Miami as "the most beautiful college there ever was" all contribute the Miami's uniqueness.

Leah

I have highly motivated friends who are going to be very successful following graduation. Everyone I know loves to work hard and play hard. We are very focused on our school work but still love to go out and have a good time.

Devorah

The thing I brag about most is the rich traditions that exist at my university. Since Miami has been around since 1809 we have many fun traditions and days that we celebrate as a university. I will always remember bonding together as a student body to celebrate our bicentenial. We also have a lot of pride in our hockey games and people will even camp out in order to sit in the front row for the big game. We may be a small campus but our student body always bonds together in order to show our support for world issues.

Audrey

How beautiful it is.

Percy

Its beauty and how great of a degree I will be attaining

Rebecca

I love the dorms, they are wonderful, spacious, and new. The food at Miami is top notch, you couldn't ask for anything more. They have food for every style and price. The campus is gorgeous! Trees everywhere, close to nature for outdoor lovers, but also close to big cities, for urban lovers. There is something for everyone here at Miami.

Stephanie

The friendships I made and good times that I had.

Nicole

The campus is absolutely gorgeous. Our school gets made fun of a lot because we are located in the middle of no where, but it really is beautiful, especially in the fall. I rarely feel that I am missing anything that I would get from living near a city because just about everything that we need is uptown.

Jared

The attractivness of the students, and the social scene. The Greek life is so predominent on campus that it is hard not to join a fraternity or sorority, but there are plenty of other ways to keep occuped and have a great time if you don't. There are also plenty of groups and club sports to keep those active who do not wish to pursue a varsity sport.

Laura

The campus is beatiful and the people who come to Miami are gorgeous. But I also remark that Miami is known as J-Crew Univeristy. Everyone is wealthy. But the colleges at Miami are well known and it's called a Public Ivy. The education received is one of the best for pubic schools, and most of the professors are nice and easy to get along with.

Karl

I usually brag about the businsess school rankings. The large amount of good looking girls. The good hockey team. Mostly, I brag about the great greek system I am a part of. I have made many long lasting relationships with my fraternity brothers and girls from other sororities, it is a great way to make great friends.

Jennifer

The atmosphere is ideal and campus is beatiful. The professors are so helpful and really enjoy what they teach. Uptown is the place to be on the weekends and is always a good time.

Andrea

I don't brag, the only thing good about it is that it is stated to be a school with a good reputation, and more college students that graduate from Miami average their first salary based income at $50K+. This is not true, they are more concerned about image, the college environment is very vain and narccissitic, and is the least diverse school I know.

Robert

Beautiful campus and social scene.

Sarah

It is one of the prettiest campuses in Ohio. It has great professors that are all very knowledgable and friendly. I love hanging out on campus or off and there is always something to do and people to hang out with. It is overall just a lot of fun and you meet a lot of great people, while getting an excellent education.

Alice

Our hockey team and the beautiful campus.

Stephanie

I believe that attending Miami University, a school where I did not necesarilly fit in, was a good choice. Because I did not relate with many of my peers, I was challenged to look outside of the University for inclusion. In the process, I began volunteering at multiple places in Cincinnati... and eventually changed my career-path.

Kaya

My school has name recognition so when I brag to my friends it mostly about just by attending Miami University, I can quite possibly have a job, by putting Miami on my resume.
