Appearance of Campus:

The campus is beautiful however, there is quite a bit of construction going on. We thought it temporarily detracted from the beauty with lots of dust, large noisy trucks, etc.
Building/Facilities Maintenance/Cleanliness:
5 - Excellent
Buildings are clean inside and out. Landscaping is nice. Also, given the construction, Miami is obviously committed to providing high quality facilities.

Campus Visit Notes for Miami University-Oxford
Visit Description:
Our two visits to Miami were extremely helpful. We have visited several schools (although intentionally, not too many) and have found Miami to be somewhat low key in a good way. They do not bombard visitors with "we are great" presentations, yet they give a genuine sense of pride for what they have to offer. It's a really nice school and definitely worth investigating.
