Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

There’s an old saying that goes, “You can make a big school small, but you can’t make a small school big.” The overall experience at Miami University is different for every student, but most seem to have enjoyed their time here, and most will agree that the former part of this statement is representative of Miami. Miami is not a huge school, but it is large enough to feel like a big university without being overwhelming. It is essential to find a niche when you arrive; otherwise, you may get lost in the shuffle. One of the best ways to determine if you will like Miami is to take into consideration what is important to you in a school and to really weigh your options. Visit the campus and ask questions—this is the next four or five years of your life. If Miami does not fulfill an important need you have, it probably isn’t the school for you, and there are people here who feel like they don’t belong.

Nobody enjoys school 100 percent of the time, but the students at Miami have a plethora of options, both social and academic, at their doorsteps. At Miami, you cannot be afraid to try new things, talk to new people, or grow as an individual. However, this is true no matter where you decide to attend college. Overall, the most important fact to take away from this guide is that most students feel that they made the right decision in attending Miami.

Miami Girls and Guys Are Cloneish.

The girls and guys tend to dress and act alike. If you're not one of them it's hard to find a niche to fit into. A lot of them are more into partying and socializing than the academics. If you don't have or come from money that's another issue that will not help you to fit in.

Campus Buses

The Campus buses at Miami are extremely convenient. There are many stops around campus and they run late into the night. It is easy to find the schedules and it costs students nothing to ride these buses. Taxis are also available around campus for pretty cheap.

Enjoyable

The Psychology department offers countless opportunities to get involved and learn more about your major. The classes tend to have a great learning environment and most lectures are very informative. The professors in the department are well acquainted with the material and can provide assistance to any problem, in respect to psychology, that a student might have. They also offer large amounts of research experience opportunities with the professors conducting their own research and using both undergraduates and graduates as assistants in the lab environment. The psychology department is one full of possibilities.
