Miami University-Oxford Top Questions

Stereotypically, Miami students are though to be "stuck-up" rich kids. The University is thought to be very preppy and have lots of money.

I remember one girl telling me that she thinks most of Miami Hamilton's students don't even want to be here. She saw Miami as an obstacle instead of an opportunity. Another stereotype of Miami Hamilton students is that we couldn't get into Miami Oxford so thats why we're at Hamilton.

I'll start with the positives. Miami has a great reputation and is very competitive to get in to. Our buisness and engineering schools are excellent, well-respected, and competitive. Miami is known as the 'Public Ivy' and also known for our gorgeous, brick building campus. Now for the not-so-positive stereotypes. We are known as 'J-Crew U'. The students are known to dress and act extremely preppy, and come from a well-off family. The typical 'Miami girl' is attractive, too skinny, wears popped collars, and ugg boots, has Daddy's credit card, and drives an SUV. Greek life is huge at Miami, and this is where most of our stereotypes originate. The night life is known to be fun and exciting. Beer pong and corn hole are popular games and most students pre-game at a house or apartment before heading uptown to one of the many bars. Almost all of the houses off-campus are named with signs on the house.

J Crew U. People think all the students at Miami are really wealthy and wear expensive clothing all the time. People also think Miami students are really smart but also party hard. Miami is also not known for having diversity.
