[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's mostly preppies from the suburbs of Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and especially Chicago. The academics are a bit stronger than the sky-high acceptance rate suggests, and business is one of the better programs. Greek life dominates the social scene. Dorms are average, but most only live in them freshman year. Sophomores and some juniors live in their fraternity/sorority houses, and most juniors and seniors live in off-campus housing. Not a huge rah-rah school when it comes to sports and DEFINITELY not a "new ivy" or "public ivy." [b]Some dildo wrote a book in the 1980s calling it that and the school has been clinging to it ever since[/b].[/quote]

Haha! Thanks for clarifying. I wondered how it got that title with it having such a high acceptance rate. [/quote]

Back in the 80s it was much more selective and had the School of Interdisciplinary Studies, which helped with its reputation. They changed the model in the early 1990s, abolished that school as an academic division and tried to behave more like a private university. Their selectiveness dwindled since. [/quote]

I was in the School of Interdisciplinary Studies in the 1980s and it had a much different vibe than the rest of Greek- and business school-oriented Miami. When I applied, Miami was the most selective state school in Ohio. I grew up in Ohio, but came to DC soon after graduation as did a lot of my friends, so grads don’t all stay in Ohio.[/quote]
