Any Miami U (OH) folks on here?

<p>I'm considering this school because it'd be in-state for me, only four hours from home which is very convenient. I originally wanted to go out of state, but seeing as how usually public/state schools are more expensive out of state (and I can't afford private schools) it's best to stay in-state. So going to schools a few hours away from home is how I can compromise.</p>

<p>Basically I wanted to know.. I have heard that this is a party school and it's got that reputation. I'm already in college, just looking to transfer and I'm not really into partying. It only matters if, when I graduate and am looking for a job, they say "isn't that a party school?" But i don't think they would.. I think my grades and degree matter more, right?</p>

<p>Also, I have heard that it has a very large, preppy, white, rich student population and if you don't "wear the right clothes" or have money then you're an outcast....? Sounds kind of like high school....</p>

<p>Also, I am considering them over Ohio State U because they are a smaller school. I don't like really large campuses so unless I am strongly advised to not go to Miami U, then I will look elsewhere.</p>

<p>What do you think?</p>

<p>I was considering Miami (OH) since I am a legacy student. I toured the campus twice, but never really liked it. Oxford is practically in the middle of nowhere and I wanted to stay on the East Coast. The only reasons I considered Miami is because I was admitted into their prestigious business school and received a nice merit scholarship as well. In the end, I decided to attend the University of Delaware because of its prime location on the East Coast.</p>
