Miami University-Oxford Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Miami University-Oxford? Why?

Myles

it's reputation for being a party, and preppy school, there's something to make everyone feel comfortable. I don't drink and I wear cargo shorts and I get along with the other students just fine.

Tia

That most of the students who do go there come from families that are wealthy

Matthew

I'd say the worst thing about my school was the lack of a large movie theater and restaurants in the town. We had to drive to nearby towns to get more options for fun things to do with friends.

Denae

I think the worst thing about Miami would be the stereotype or mentality that everyone has to wear designer clothes, wear the same brands, have the same "look." I like my individuality and I want that to show through how I represent myself.

Zoe

How expenisive the food on campus is definitly the worst thing about Miami. This is because as a freshman, going from class to class, and all of the homework there is not time to make your own food. The high prices, just drains my money, and on top of the cost of tuition makes the college just that much more expensive to attend.

Maura

The culture is known as preppy and that is very acurate especially in the Business school. As a business student this can be frustrating because it means that no one wears sweatpants to class and that everyone one is always dressed to impress for class. Although this atmosphere can be frustrating, it is also good experience for eventually entering the working world and needing to dress Business casual at least every day.

Anne

The worst thing about Miami University is the lack of diversity. I have traveled around the world for work, volunteer opportunities and pleasure and I have gained a great respect for cultures, ethnicities and languages different than my own. I would like to see more diversity at Miami as it has great potential to serve students from around the country and the world.

Gabriel

I consider class availability to be the worst thing about my school. I work 15 hours a week and am forced to schedule classes around my work schedule. It is very hard to fit all the classes I need into a managable time frame. Once classes are scheduled things usually work out.

Adrienne

The worst thing about my school is the stereotype that it has. Miami University is thought to be full of rich and preppy snobs. It keeps students from choosing Miami because they feel like they will not fit in. I do not fit into that stereotype, but I have never once felt like I did not belong at Miami. There are so many interesting people there that one can learn so much from.

Jillian

The worst thing would be the expense. It is one of the most expensive public universities out there.
