<p>I have never heard of anyone being turned away from marching band. I do not know very much about concert band, but there are several non-majors in orchestra. As for engineering, Miami is currently building a GORGEOUS new building. It looks amazing from the outside.</p>
<p>I would say that most of my friends are “non-preps,” and because of Miami’s size, there will definitely be students who are similar to your daughter. Honors (IMO) is significantly less preppy and definitely more diverse than the rest of campus.</p>
