<p>If by similar you mean medium-sized, state-supported schools with smaller, college town location and above average academic reputation, then here are a few comparable universities:</p>
<p>College of William and Mary
James Madison University
Auburn University
Clemson University
University of Mississippi (also ironically in Oxford)
College of Charleston (not really a small town but very similar vibe)
University of Delaware
University of Connecticut
University of Vermont
University of Oklahoma
University of Kansas
University of Oregon
Cal Poly SLO
Many of the other MAC schools (Ohio U, BGSU, Kent St., Ball St., Central Michigan, N. Illinois)</p>
<p>Much larger schools but also have similarities to Miami: Indiana University and University of Maryland CP </p>
<p>I’m a Miami alum and I’ve been on campus at most of the schools listed. Some are more similar to MU than others for a variety of reasons, big-time sports being one important differentiator.
The most “Miami-like” school I have personally come across is Delaware. The schools are amazingly similar except for the cultural differences between East Coast and Midwest students. I’ve got family alumni from Delaware, Oklahoma and Cal Poly so I can speak most strongly to those schools.</p>
<p>Having said that, there’s only one Miami… Love and Honor.</p>
