"Miami cares about its undergraduate students. You can feel why the university has an excellent undergraduate reputation once you are here. In my opinion, Miami is a place for opportunities to grow, and the community makes sure to support you. Take advantage of these opportunities as much as you can to grow as a student and individual."

"Miami was actually one of the only schools that offered both zoology and running. Miami has a good reputation with both, and I was really happy when I came on my visit. Miami felt more beautiful and well-kept than other universities that I was considering. Having been running since eighth grade and all through high school, the campus definitely had a really good feel to it."

"When I was nine, my synchronized skating team came to Oxford, Ohio for a competition, and I saw Miami’s team and just fell in love with it. When I got back home, I made it my goal to make the team, and I put it on my wall—on a little Post-It Note—and I did it!"

" I had a lot of friends that went to Miami. I’m an Evan’s Scholar, which is a scholarship awarded to golf caddies. A bunch of my older friends from my caddie camp and golf club attended Miami, so I decided to take a look. I went to a boarding school in Massachusetts, so I definitely wanted to get closer to home in Chicago. Miami’s location was good, and I could see myself fitting into the campus atmosphere."

"My first year here was great because I was able to see my parents and older sister every weekend when they traveled to my games. Aside from stressing too much over academics my freshman year, it was a great start to my journey and career here. I’ve learned a lot about myself in terms of what I can do and who I want to be since then."

"If you don’t know what you want to do with the rest of your life when you step on campus, that’s okay. Your timeline doesn’t have to be the same as everyone else’s, and it’s okay to want something different than what people have always told you or what the norm seems to be. Just focus on you."
