Most students will use spring break to relax after completing mid terms and to mentally get ready for the final push to the end of the semester. It always seems as if the semester flies by once we get to this point in the spring. Soon we will be congratulating our seniors at commencement and welcoming a new group of first-year students at orientation. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves as these will be future blog topics. Perhaps, some of you may be wondering what is happening at Miami University or in Oxford, Ohio this week with a majority of the Miami students gone.
Spring break allows for those folks who consider Oxford home to take back the city for one week in the middle of the semester. We are able to grab a bite at our favorite Uptown eating establishment; browse freely through the local stores; and grocery shop at our own pace without the lines. When I first moved to Oxford, many community members referred to Oxford as the “Tale of Two Cities,” referencing the vast change of the feel and flow of the community when classes are not in session. The locals love the energy the students bring to Oxford, but every once in awhile a break that provides some relaxation is nice.
Although the students may be gone this week, many parts of Miami University are still in full swing, and that includes the Office of Admission. This is a big week for us in Admission and for some of you. Admission decision letters will be mailed Friday, March 13. Decisions will also be posted online on Sunday, March 15 at 12:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on the application status check website: www.muohio.edu/appcheck
With our students gone this week, we do not offer information sessions or tours, but we are still here to answer your questions. Each of you has been assigned a counselor based upon where you live. To find out who your counselor is please check out the following link: http://www.muohio.edu/admission/map.cfm. Please contact us if you have any questions; we’d love to hear from you!
Until next time,
Brian
