Top Strengths Comparison
Miami University
- 1 Exceptional business/marketing program (#16 nationally) with 90%+ internship participation and Fortune 500 corporate partnerships
- 2 Outstanding school spirit and active social scene - definitively NOT a commuter school with 75% living on/near campus
- 3 Excellent career outcomes (94% placement) and strong 'Miami Mafia' alumni network, particularly in business
- 4 Walk-on dance team opportunities with competitive team plus multiple student dance organizations
- 5 Beautiful campus (ranked among most beautiful in America) with strong student satisfaction (90% retention rate)
- 6 Good academic support with accessible faculty and smaller upper-level classes (15-25 students)
Things to Consider
Miami University
- 1 CRITICAL: Location is rural small town, NOT urban as preferred - Oxford offers little beyond campus, car needed by junior year
- 2 CRITICAL: Climate severely mismatched - only 178 sunny days/year with cold, gray Ohio winters for student who 'loves sunshine'
- 3 Limited economic and racial diversity (15-18% Pell Grant recipients) may not provide diverse perspectives important for psychology/pre-law interests
- 4 Greek life at 40% participation is influential and could feel exclusionary if not participating
- 5 High out-of-state tuition ($39,614) if not Ohio resident - must consider financial implications
- 6 Pre-PT and pre-law are solid but not signature programs - business is the clear star
