Miami University-Oxford

Miami University has a great Speech Pathology program and the professors in that field truly care. The University, student organizations, and city groups set up all kinds of interesting events from Art After Dark crafting nights to Educational Hikes and Public Ice Skating. The campus and town are generally quite safe. Use the Buztrakr app to track the town's bus system, they are free and fairly comfortable to use. The campus itself is quite beautiful and well kept by the managers. Western Campus has a great natural landscape and the Art Museum has an interesting collection that gets visiting exhibits and unique educational opportunities.

Oxford is a fairly isolated town so you must put in the work to find something fun to do. Beware that when you visit the university the dorms you will be shown are the fanciest ones. You will not be staying in those dorms your first year-- make sure you research the dorms before you make a choice out of the options given to you. Peabody Hall had bad air quality for a long time which made some students sick. McKee Hall had AC issues. There are still some issues with accessibilities for disabled students as well as treatment of disabled students at the university. There is too much money spent on the Farmer School of Business and general outward appearances when other areas like the insides of several academic and residential buildings and accessibility changes need more attention.

Not much

It’s honestly hard to enjoy my experience, I feel pressured and constantly bombarded by unnecessary elements. Plus they aren’t really helpful. Also, I go to Oxford Brookes University, but I couldn’t find it here and I’d like to apply for a scholarship.

I don't know, I mean it really just depends on the kind of person you are. If you come from a wealthy family- this is the school for you. If you become a Miami Access Student (aka you're poor) then this might not be the school for you. They thrive off the money they get from their tuition and housing. But, I found my people here, so it made life here a little more bearable. Just put lots of thought into it before you make a decision. It's definitely a beautiful campus, that's for sure.

They care more about money than they do you. That covers every category in the book. If you come from a wealthy family, then you'll have the time of your life. If you come from a poorer family, then you may still have the time of your life but it'll be a struggle.

The faculty here really want their students to succeed, so don't be afraid to ask questions and attend office hours. If you're interested in undergraduate research there are so many categories of research to choose from. Just a bit of a warning to freshmen who take calculus 1 here, it's one of the hardest courses on campus because of the amount of content.

If you get placed in Morris Hall, I'm so sorry. It's like one of the worst dorms on campus.

I love the friends I've made here, and there is always something to do around campus. I've made connections with a few of my professors, and while academic advising is difficult at times, I feel like I have enjoyed many of my classes and been able to get involved in different ways.

Dorm life and dining halls are average.

The academic environment and social atmosphere are absolutely perfect for someone looking to balance the best of both worlds in one college experience.

A lot of the campus is simply dated. Many residences and dining halls lack the modern spark that many campuses even in the area possess. However, this may be a plus to some.
