<p>As a current student at Miami, I can give a different perspective, imo.</p>
<p>I know people in the Honors Program and they all hate it. Whenever it’s mentioned, someone always rolls their eyes and complains. I’m sure it has great upsides, but my roommate is in the HP and I’ve seen the works she has to do for that class and it’s nothing but busy work. After talking to a few people about it (as I was interested in applying at one point) most only do it for priority registration which is being done away with in the near future. There are perks like small class size, but as you move up in your major classes after your first couple of semesters, the small sizes will get smaller on their own. </p>
<p>I also know quite a few people that are seriously struggling to graduate within 4 years. Miami’s very finicky about transferring credits while you’re a student there at another school in the summer. </p>
<p>The campus is stunning, though. For the first few weeks here it was near-constant clear skies and during fall? Breath-taking. (Even though Oxford is boring as hell.)</p>
