Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The facilities on Miami's campus are phenomenal. Whether it is on the on-campus restaurants, the technologically advanced computer labs, or the workout center, Miami has spent its money well. All of the buildings on campus are brick and beautiful, as well as functional and luxurious on the inside. Some of the older dorms could use some work, but they are typically nicer than the dorms you’d usually find at a public university.

When asked about the best facilities on Miami's campus, the Recreational Center is usually first on the list. With an Olympic-sized pool and a full rock-climbing wall, it is easily the nicest workout center in Ohio. All of the machines are state-of-the-art and well maintained, and there are workout classes offered to students at all times of the day. The third floor is a full track that overlooks the four basketball courts below. There are vending machines here that offer typical snacks and refreshments, but they are hardly used due to the kiosk Hydrations, which provides smoothies and healthy food options. The classrooms at Miami are state-of-the-art, as well. Many classrooms provide Smart Boards, and those that don’t have slide projectors that students can copy notes from.

A

Superior Aesthetics

The red brick buildings on campus are GORGEOUS, thats one of the reasons they call it a public Ivy. Interiors tend to be somewhat run down. The Farmer's School of Business is a state of the art facility. The athletic center is well laid out, cardio equipment on an open upper deck and weight training equipment below. Group fitness classrooms are well maintained.

Dining Halls

The dining facilities are well maintained and always clean. Newer dining options have been designed to look like cool restaurants and don't make you feel like you are in a college dining hall.

Solid or Under Renovation

Good variety of libraries and well connected library system (art/arch, music, science, main)

Plenty of campus activities

One renovated athletic center, with solid, but not outstanding facilities (bit crowded sometimes)

Food is mediocre, but plans are under way for several new dining concepts

Student center is an ugly mess, but a new one is being built across the street.

We're known for our "Georgian Revival" architectural style, but it gets old, there's an obsessive focus on maintaining the image.

The Hub

The Hub This is the center of campus—the Hub. This comes with the superstition that if you step on the Hub, you'll fail your next exam. It's pretty funny to see how a majority of the campus makes sure to walk around the Hub, and even ride their bikes around it, too.

Pulley Tower This bell tower plays music like the fight song and alma mater a few times throughout the day. One time, it even played "Just Dance" by Lady Gaga and "I'm on a Boat" by The Lonely Island.
