Beyond the academic knowledge I gained from participation in my school's business program, the opportunity for real world application in the classroom, interaction with other students, organizations, and accounting firms have prepared me for a successful career in my field, making the program unique.

A brand new building with great technology and amenities [makes the school unique]. It was truly built for the students and everything put in it is to help us with whatever we may need. But the main thing that makes us unique is the professors. They take interests in all their students and take time out of their days to meet us whenever we may need to see them. They want us to succeed today and in our future endeavors. I have received e-mails from multiple teachers, who share job opportunities with me. This just goes to show that they want students to leave school and do well for themselves.

After attending a smaller university for two years, I have noticed that the level of professors and students this school attracts are of a much higher quality than others. An example is that group projects were not exactly enjoyable to work in at the school I previously attended. Students didn't care to do their share of work. As a guy who takes school seriously, this made group work a hectic mess. I have been involved in five group projects since being at Miami University and have not had an issue. Maybe that is luck, but I feel the work ethic these students put forth is beyond those at other schools.

As far as I am concerned, we have the best dean of any business school in the country. He is active and visisble every day at the school, and he is working hard to make it better. He has a vision and the know how to execute that vision.
