A wonderful university
The school that sits atop all my university experiences.
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
I am actually not in the university yet, but I have received my offer letter to enroll in Miami University Fall 2022. But then I choose this school because their course curriculum focuses more on the areas I want to specialize in . Their spacious classrooms makes it well for students to bond and increases strong learning relationships between students and their professors....
Sense of community
