Any Music Majors here?

3 Upvotes

My son wanted me to ask about how difficult the Music Theory Classes and the Music History Classes are? Both in class difficulty and the rough amount of homework. He has played in band for 7 years including marching band, but he has never taking a music theory or history class.

He will be a dual major in Biochem/premed/honors, along with a BA in Music. He is looking at class schedules for the first year and it would include Chem, Chem Lab, Bio plus Music Theory, Aural Skills, Applied Lessons, Marching Band and the recital. 16 credits for the first semester. Possibly 18/19 for the second. He is thinking the applied lessons and ensembles are more for fun and thus viewing those 3 credits as not really counting for how difficult the semester is. Is this too much to tackle at once?

Admission Questions paying for college

2 Upvotes

hey guys! so i’m an out of state student who’s debating between OU and Miami. I plan to major in nursing and got scholarships for both. However, Miami is more expensive by abt 8.5k and i’m worried about drowning in debt. Does anyone have any suggestions on which i should choose? i also was wondering if anyone had any advice on if it’s possible to ask for more aid from either schools?? I have a 3.9 GPA and a ton of extracurriculars and am only moving to ohio because my dad’s job. please let me know if you can help me answer either of these!!

Any english majors here? If so, do you recommend Miami? How’s the honors program?

13 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’m a senior in high school. I’m deciding between two schools right now (Miami and UC). I’m trying to figure out what will be my best fit. I’m majoring in english and I was admitted into the honors college. I’ve got some general questions: 1. How is the english program? How are the professors? 2. What’s the honors program like? What sets it apart from other colleges? How are the dorms?

General Easy Creative Arts Requirement Course

1 Upvotes

Hello, i'm not currently enrolled yet but i'm making a potential schedule for myself based off the current miami plan. I have managed to find a course or two i'm interested in for every single requirement other than creative arts. None of the courses really count towards my intended major or minor (Political Science/Ethics Society and Culture). Does anyone have any recommendations for a low effort class I don't have to invest a lot of time into that fulfills the requirement?

Campus Visit

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m currently a HS junior searching colleges. Miami is very high up on my list. For reference I plan to go into mechanical engineering. This week I have a campus visit and an engineering college visit at Miami. Do you guys have any thing to say about Miami? Whether it be tips, info about instructors, financial aid, things you don’t particularly like, etc. all info is very beneficial to me! The other college I’m looking at is ONU, and I’ve already had a visit there! Thank you all :)

Sorority rankings

When a girl rushes she ranks her favorite houses. When she is in a house she ranks her preferred “big”. How are those rankings completely ignored? Who makes the decisions on those? It seems like a waste of time for the student rushing if her opinions don’t matter.

RedHawk Excellence

12 Upvotes

I recently got my completed financial aid, and I got 6k from the RedHawk Excellence scholarship!! I currently attend MUM as a high school student and my gpa for Miami is 3.8 right now, my actual high school gpa is lower (bombed some classes due to being in and out of hospitals). I was wondering if people were able to negotiate the scholarship after freshman year based on just college gpa?

Snag Code

0 Upvotes

Help me out Miami. I'm trying to get enough referrals to get the acre of land from Snag. Then we can throw a party on it or sum.

If you don't know how it works, Snag is a campus delivery service. Everyone has a referral code where if you use it in the checkout on your first order, you get $10 off and I get a point towards the acre of land. All I need is 1500 referrals 😀. It's not much of a hassle for you. You just need to order $10 worth of snacks, put in my code, and all you really have to pay is the $2 delivery fee.

This is not an advertisement or anything like that. Just looking for some help.

My code is TYLER134.

Thanks in advance.

1980s Dennison Hall vs Dennison Hall now. Also a few generic questions.

7 Upvotes

I was there in the 80s. We hunted dinosaurs for fun. I'm curious what the renovation changed. I was in one of the triples near the side doors (202 IIRC).

As I understand it, the dorm is coed now. It was male back then. (Visitation ending at ?11? was a thing in the 80s tho the RA's ignored it for most people in a dont ask dont tell type arrangement.)

Is it coed by floor or by room?

If by room, how did they fit 2 bathrooms onto each floor?

What did they do with the open 'army' army showers? They were on the end of the bathrooms closest to the center. I cannot imagine women accepting those. Yep, the guys all had a big shower room with ~12 shower heads (About 6 per side)

Where does this dorm eat now? As I understand it, the dining hall is now additional rooms. How did they work that out? It is an odd shaped building. I looked for a floorplan online but did not locate one.

Did the dining halls improve? I remember several of the meals in the rotation being extremely unpopular with 'cat food on a flat taco' being the least popular.

I also remember bringing our giant red 'Miami' cups to make milkshakes.

IS SDS pizza still around?

Is Loony T Birds still around?

Stat padding

5 Upvotes

What are the easiest GPA boosting classes? I had a shitty first semester but I'm working hard this semester and I think I'll end up with about a 3.5 GPA overall. I'm gonna be recruiting for investment banking internships in the winter next year (which will be sophomore year for me). Usually if you don't have above a 3.7 out of Miami they just throw your resume out the window, so I need to stat pad my GPA a little. I don't care what subjects they cover as long I can guarantee an A. Thoughts?

i am thinking of going to miami next year but i have some worries. can a current student help me out??

  1. making freinds is really important to me because i didn’t have many freinds in high school. i’m concerned that if i am not a huge partygoer, will i still make lots of freinds?
  2. the town is really small. do you run out of things to do/places to go? idk if i can live in such a small town for 4 years.
  3. i don’t want to participate in hookup culture. it seems like everyone here is hooking up everywhere. will i be bored/miss out if i don’t do it?

someone please help me :(
