Welcome to hiring Gen Zers. Millenials seem the most aggrevated by them -- you know, feelings.

This! Kids are great and Oxford is super cute. Attracts great faculty due to easy living. Great mix of sports and being a smaller state school. Farmers and nursing have had massively decreasing admittance rates recently which hits OOS harder. Just watch that.

Your own experience?

Nope, it's a few of my neighbors' kids who have graduated from there in the last 5 years. Based on what my neighbors have shared it sounds typical for their kids' friends from Miami.

Lots of wifey material there.

That’s pretty much every college or grad school or “elite” job I had since high school. Not unique to Miami of Ohio, of all places.

Miami is great for undergraduate teaching. It's kind of isolated -- like a university fell off a truck traversing a field. It's a lovely campus. It's pretty homogenous.

D1 sports. Greek life is huge. Good size -- about the same size as UVA. Similar vibe, although not as academically rigorous.

Draws primarily from Ohio for obvious reasons. But also Chicago. Business is going to feed into like P&G or other Midwest companies.

I went for a hockey tournament. I called it the anti-Bowdoin. The shorts were very short. The off campus party houses had hilarious names.

My niece went there and loved everything about it. I have met so many of her friends and they are all fun, smart, kind and had a great time together. Campus was beautiful!

Eh it's in OH

Incredible campus.

Sporty, B+ kid, very social. Probably will major in business.
