Public Public Ivy College Town Rural RedHawks Historic

The exceptionally high quality of education and the stunningly beautiful campus have earned Miami University recognition as one of America’s Public Ivy institutions. The city of Oxford is also widely regarded as one of the nation’s greatest college towns: The student body accounts for an enormous segment of the local population, and the university is the key cultural and economic driver of the community. The Downtown area just off the northwest corner of campus is a major hangout for the college crowd, with popular venues like Brick Street and Hole in the Wall packed with students on the weekends. Even when most of the students have gone home for summer, the annual Summer Music Festival at Uptown Memorial Park features free weekly concerts throughout the summer months. Apartments, condos, and rental houses are often quite affordable, and virtually any neighborhood on the east side of town will give you convenient access to the Miami campus.
