Miami University is in Ohio. The one in FL is the University of Miami. UM is better! Hah well I’m a student there so obviously I’m biased. But, really they are two pretty different schools so some factors you might want to consider are:

Weather: warm year-round in Miami vs harsh winters in Boston
Campus: a distinct green campus at Miami vs no central campus at BU
Sports: Great D1 sports program (and school spirit) at Miami vs nothing major at BU, except maybe hockey… I don’t really know

I’m not entirely sure which school is harder to get into. I would guess Miami just because their admitted percentage is around 20% less than BU (although that could depend on a lot of different factors) and UM’s average SAT/ACT is slightly higher, I believe. As far as getting into dental school, I have no idea. But, I’m doing pre-med at UM and the sciences are very strong there.
