<p>Thanks! And Zoology/Premed.</p>
<p>My daughter has been accepted to Miami and will probably attend. My question is about the reputation Miami has being super conservative and somewhat snobby. I certainly don’t believe everything I hear but so many people I’ve talked to have this impression of Miami. I would love to hear your thoughts, opinions on this… Thanks.</p>
<p>The following threads might help.

<p>My S is an OOS freshman this year at Miami. He loves it and has had no problem making friends. He has not found people snobby, but he did upgrade his wardrobe - more collared shirts etc. </p>
<p>As far as the politics, when we were there in October for Family Weekend, I saw as many or more Democratic signs than Republican ones. That being said, I would say that Miami is more conservative than many campuses - such as Madison or Ann Arbor.</p>
<p>Thanks for the comments and links. Great information. I was very impressed when we
visited Miami and I think my daughter will be very happy there!</p>
<p>brotherin, I’m sure you know…Miami grads have very high med school acceptance. Work hard, and GOOD LUCK!!</p>
<p>Jackson, to me, the sign of an “accepting” University is one where conservatives AND liberals feel welcome. I think most kids at MU feel that they are entitled to their opinions…which is not true for conservative kids on a lot of campuses…which in my mind, makes the universality of thought to be SUSPECT on a lot of campuses.</p>
<p>Received the “official” EA acceptance letter today. Although I knew it was coming I’m stilled thrilled! I need to go back for another visit (hopefully one where it isn’t raining sideways!) and get a feel for the campus. Good Luck to those still waiting!</p>
<p>No letter today in VA. 
This just means a sleepless night–either stay up til midnight or jump out of bed at 4 a.m.</p>
<p>Good luck to all who are waiting for their EA acceptances! My daughter was in your
position last year. She is currently a freshman at Miami, in the Honors program, and loving it. I fully understand that concept of “raining sideways”. It was doing exactly that when my
daughter and I attended orientation last June.</p>
