You don't know what you are talking about. This is a state school. Rich kid school-- I don't think so.

Not mutually exclusive. Next...

From what I have seen it is an "A Team" Environment - a haven for good looking, confident, put-together kids that will be successful because they rise to to top of the pack at interview time. We hired many at my former fortune 100 company and most ended up on the fast track - this was my first exposure to this school and I found myself wondering "what is this place?".

PP here. Don't hold the typos above as anything against Miami. I was dictating the post and didn't proof it.

I graduated from Miami in the late 1980s. It was very preppy and white then and I think it is still pretty much the same. However, as anywhere in the large school you can find all sorts of groups of people Who don't fit the mold. That was pretty much me and I enjoyed my four years there. I think the worst thing about it was it's isolation especially if you did not have a car. The school itself is lovely especially in the spring.

I ended up in DC because of an internship that an alumni wanted to give to a Miami student.

I went on to grad school a couple years later and got in everywhere I applied, ending up with a full scholarship at the school I went to.

College data reports Miami of Ohio as 85.6% white. That's really white for a college. No wonder Bethesda and McLean kids feel right at home.

What's the crime-ridden Catholic school, dumbass?

Miami was a university in Ohio when Florida belonged to Spain, dumbass.

Some crime-ridden Catholic school ain't got nothing on the Cradle of Coaches that has the oldest continuously publishing college newspaper in the country.

Wow, that's some claim to fame. And I thought Dartmouth had the country's oldest newspaper. Oh, and Miami of Ohio is a middling school at best.

U of Miami isn't Catholic. It's also in Coral Gables.

My son was a NMF at TJ and his counselor there really pushed this school because of the merit aid. She considered it a good school academically for the level of merit aid they gave out.

My son had other schools he was more interested in, so we never really looked at it.

Oh, please. The other Miami is newer and nothing to write home about academically anyway.

I have 3 good friends who graduated from there. All 3 went on to law school or b-school and all are doing very well. They loved their time there. The alumni network seems pretty strong, too.

My DD was accepted with merit aid. We visited the campus two weeks ago so she could make her final decision. It is a beautiful campus, very New England looking, in a very small college town. However, it is in the middle of nowhere. The students we met all seemed happy with it. In the end, though, DD decided it was not the school for her and chose another school instead.

This is the same poster who bashed Ohio on another thread. Lordy, we get it.
