I am a lead plaintiff in a lawsuit on behalf of my classmates seeking a reasonable refund for the difference in tuition and fees we paid for in-person educational experiences versus less valuable online courses.
My “home routine” only consisted of going to the gym, reading for pleasure, babysitting occasionally and seeing my friends, but it made me feel like there was at least some structure to my break.
Today, on Friday, Dec. 9, one of my best friends is graduating from Miami University.

You will not grow as a person by exposing yourself to the same people on a daily basis. Here's how you can change that.
I’ve heard it a lot since I came to Miami University: “There’s really nothing to do in Oxford.” Is there really not anything to do, or are we just not looking in the right places?
We were born into consumer lifestyles, we ingest the advertising everyday in our media and we face the struggle of feeling the need to be ‘in style’ all the time. Don’t blame yourself, but don’t fall into the trap of fast fashion.

Monday, Oct. 10 was Indigenous Peoples’ Day, a day meant to celebrate and remember the stolen lands upon which we stand and to remember the lives lost and the cultures destroyed by imperialism and colonialism.
A Public Ivy is selective. A Public Ivy is not a safety school. Miami seems to differ in these qualities, begging the question: Will we continue to be a Public Ivy?
It has come time for Miami to be a great deal better when it comes to the handling of staff and faculty concerns.
I’ve been surprised — and, honestly, really disappointed — at the amount of casual dialogue surrounding suicide I’ve heard here at Miami University. Casual dialogue, not in a comfortable conversational way, but in an inconsiderate, joking manner.
In a recent Twitter poll put out by The Miami Student, a clear majority of the 28 voters — 53.6% — agreed that the new “zonal” parking system was not easy to use/understand.
In the 2020 election, on-campus voter turnout was the worst in the county, with an average voter turnout hardly over 20%. The worst precinct was Oxford 11 (Western campus), which had a voter turnout of less than 12%.
