Who said anything about wanting that for his/her child? Its just another ranking, and nice to see a not so well known school among those that are considered elite.
Miami of Ohio is a great school with a lot of wonderful programs (both at the graduate and undergraduate levels).
Someone I know who goes there for their PhD said that, even though the university is classified as an R2, going there is like getting an R1 education at a LAC. You get the best of both worlds - great mentoring/feel/school pride and top-notch faculty and opportunities (though I suppose this depends on the field/department).
@OHMomof2 I think with the "Miami plan liberal arts requirement for all students, its like everyone gets a Liberal Arts education.
@HarvestMoon1 That person is correct. My child had a great experience there with a ton opportunities. All of his classes were taught by tenured professors. I highly recommend the school.
Hey I am glad I clicked on the link… Because the article below it says that the student loan rates are going down. That’s good news for the kids taking out student loans!
Knew about Wisconsin years ago despite not caring about the business world ( I treasure UW for its other great academics). Note that half the schools listed above are public, not private.
