(Oh and I get to get my rejection from an Ivy tonight  :lol: )

That was my thought 2 years ago, and then I got the letter and found out I was accepted. And didn't do anyway. :lbf

Anywho, all those schools suck, so I voted for the most X-men-related one. :shrug

Good choice :kudo

Hey Goohst. GREAT schools you got in to.

Word of advice, DO NOT consider prestige.

Consider the program you want (iirc you are my poli sci protege) and how flexible your university is with that. I chose my university, which is not well known (I go to University of Rochester; everybody THINKS I go to Rochester Institute of Technology) because my school has a "no core curriculum" philosophy. Basically, I have never had to take any course I didn't WANT to take. Research all these schools and find out what fits you. Do not take cost or prestige into account because you will seriously get the same education no matter where you go.

OMGZ! I go to Miami University! Redhawkz are in the Frozen 4 (like we are every year duh) and we're not settling for #2 in the nation this year!

Anyway orgasm over, reasons why you should attend Miami:

*It's a mid-sized school. For undergrad, I can't imagine why anyone would go to somewhere obnoxiously HUGE like Ohio State or UMichigan. On the flip side, unless you've been to a small private school (I have), it might be hard adjusting to a small school. It's the perfect size population-wise.

*The parties are awesome if you're into them. There's a thousand bars Uptown, and people party from Tuesday-Saturday. On the flip side, if you're NOT into the party scene, there's 60% of the other people on campus who aren't into that stuff. lol But really, if you come here, you can come to one of my parties at my apartment and I'll make you a "Liquid JaMelt" which is 3 shots spiced rum, 2 shots sweet tea and a splash of lemon! ^_^

*We're known as the public Ivy. Reputation is everything. the Farmer School of Business ranked 6th in the nation in 2009. It's also a great research facility for the sciences. Probably the most important, our school's food facilities has been ranked #1 in the nation in several categories nationally since 2004.

*The girls are SO hot and the guys are equally easy on the eyes. More of a prep scene overall though.

*If you're a minority, it's super cheap, but I've found out that despite being black, I don't qualify for much government aide. :( Despite the higher cost, the education is worth it.

*The campus is GORGEOUS. Nice weather. Doesn't rain or snow much, which is shocking since I live in Toledo (3.5 hours away) and down here, people like to close school when there's a small flurry. <_<

*I'm sure there are other reasons, but I'm not fit to campaign for your attendance to Miami. lol I'm just shallow and the things I immediately thought of were alcohol, reputation, and hot people.

Ummm yeah, so I vote for you to come to Miami.






NOTE:
I have a few friends from Case. They are the most excellent research facility in Ohio. so if you're into the sciences (specifically pre-med) then that might be a good option. However, the atmosphere is a bit...if I may be stereotypical: nerdy. Not much fun unless you go into the city to a more diverse crowd.

btw for those applying to college in the future, consider a change of climate(unless you are from the west coast. People who go from west coast to east are universally considered dumb in college). I love that I only have a 3.5 hour ride from my parents' to school, but seriously, I only applied to schools in Upstate NY and New England and ultimately every winter I do regret that.

OMG we're talking about Florida schools now, and that shit ain't getting by me, especially with JaMalle ranting about Miami. Basically, I consider it my mission to reiterate how much better my school is than his every time he brings it up. ^_^

For the record, I know Miami kids. I go to UF, where half the student populace is from Miami. They're cool and all, but it gets old. Unless you are seriously the most obnoxious person in the history of the world, sometimes you just need to get away from that crowd.

For undergrad, I can't imagine why anyone would go to somewhere obnoxiously HUGE like Ohio State or UMichigan.

As someone who attends one of those obnoxiously huge universities, I can say that the larger the student populace, the better. All it means is more opportunities to meet people and find areas of interest.

UF has better parties. Also, we can party without ever stepping foot inside a club every once in a while, which cannot be said for Miami punks.

UF is better ranked in such academic categories.

UF is better ranked in such incredibly important categories.

it's super cheap

UF is like the cheapest decent school ever. Hurry up and get in before they jack up tuition!

Quote:

It's hard to say this after the absurd cold spell we've had this winter, but generally speaking, Miami is too hot. Gainesville is nicer.

In conclusion, UF > UM.

Oh, but goohst, you should totally go to Miami. That way we can party and have those delicious sounding Liquid JaMelts. <3

I REFUSE to dignify every outlandish and ridiculous thing you said with a reply other than:

MIAMI UNIVERSITY WAS A F*C*I*G SCHOOL BEFORE MIAMI, FLORIDA WAS A CITY THANK YOU VERY MUCH KTHXBAIBITCH!

END OF DEBATE! :P

I go to a really small school because I like it better than bigger schools. :shrug My professors all know my name, and they are not bullshit TA's.

You're going to be able to get wasted at any school in the country, so the main category you should consider is how hot the girls are. Everything else is secondary.

I agree with ThaiSu. Big School lovers confuse me, but I think it's a personality type thing.

I know why people like big schools, but I disagree with them. It's your own opinion.

Besides, if you don't like the school you choose, you can easily transfer the next semester.

I *hate* it when my professors know my name. I prefer to be anonymous. That said, my school is probably mid-sized. The professors in my major know my name, which most of the time I don't mind since I need their adviice, but when a professor who has no need to know my name learns my name I get pissed off. Like I said, I prefer anonymity. Which makes me wonder why I didn't choose a different username for this website. I guess I am just not creative.

I'm the opposite. If a teacher knows my name and gives a shit about me and my SPECIFIC education that makes for awesomeness.

It DID weird me out that there were two teachers in my highschool who I NEVER HAD who would say hi to me in the hallways though :shifty

Everyone in high school knows the homecoming king, I got used to it after awhile though.
