As for tOSU itself -
Miami has always been built upon standards ? strong academic standards, not opening New Miami until it could admit worthy students (not just any student that had $$$$). Even today, Miami will close residence halls in down enrollment, rather than lower its standards. Miami is like old money ? the class, the elegance of it. The high standards and traditions. Robert Frost calling it the ?most beautiful campus there ever was.?
No one would mistake OSU for a beautiful campus. Ohio State is like some guy that won powerball who lived in a trailer outside Pataskala. Everyone knows that Ohio State?s wealth comes from its proximity to the legislature, and the mutual favors. Ohio State has bought quality ? Miami grew it and made it from scratch.
