<p>smw, this "preppy" stuff is for the birds. My daughter and I went to an event for accepted students yesterday, and it confirmed that she is definitely going there. You see different kinds of dress, but most wear the jeans and sweatshirt you see everywhere else. It's a beautiful college, if you haven't been, and everyone there has been great to us. For my daughter it was between OSU and Miami, and for me it wasn't even close - plus Miami gave her more money. Also, we were told that around half the students are from out of state.</p>
<p>lou's mom...thank you for the imput...especially the news of half from out of state...i had read else where that only 30% from out of state and less than 10% of the out of staters from out of the surrounding ohio states...we are going to visit next weekend...</p>

<p>These two sites may help give you a feel for MU. Says 63% in-state for the class of 2010. May continue to drop. It's a large school. It must have factions. It's not Berkley, but it's not all business students either. In the early 70's, there were quite a few from back East, but the main contributors seemed to be Chicago, Detroit, PA, and NY.</p>
<p>Our D is a Junior at Miami. We live on the east coast, but she loves her school. It is a perfect fit for her. Students tend to be on the conservative side, and they are very friendly and welcoming. As for preppy, jeans and flip flops are the main attire. Life is a bit slower than the hectic pace here in the east. Miami has a fabulous study abroad program in Luxembourg; I can't say enough about it. D has been in Europe since Jan. and will be home in May. The campus is beautiful, and we're quite happy to send our daughter and our money there. lol</p>
<p>Sorry to be a party pooper but since I was the OP so be it ---
could we please get this thread back on topic? </p>
<p>I really am interested in the stats of those accepted if you are willing to share.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
