10. Positive things about the school is that its not too far from home and they have courses I would like to major and minor in. A negative thing about it is that it’s expensive (just like every other college) but there are also many ways to help pay for the expenses. They have sports I would like to go there for, such as volleyball or track. One fact that interests me is that one of Miami University's most famous graduates was Benjamin Harrison, who later became the 23rd President of the United States. This school is one of my top choices.
