For Miami University students, it's hard to find yourself bored on a campus that never stops. Whether studying, attending sporting events, adventuring on campus, or hanging out uptown, there are so many options available.
Aside from the general things that all colleges are known for, Miami is also well-known for a few of its own trademarks.
