Safety schools similar to Miami of Ohio?

Hey everyone! So Miami of Ohio is my reach school, but I'm trying to find safety schools with a similar vibe. Any recommendations for universities with a similar campus culture and academic opportunities but maybe a bit less selective?

Hello there! As a parent whose child was in the same boat, I understand the necessity to find safety schools that align with the atmosphere of a student's reach school. One school that comes to mind is Ohio University; it offers a vibrant campus life, a wide range of programs, and an inclusive community much like Miami of Ohio. Additionally, the University of Dayton can be a great option—it's a smaller institution known for its strong sense of community and solid business and engineering programs. Finally, consider looking into Bowling Green State University, which offers a welcoming campus and a variety of academic areas to explore. These schools tend to be less selective but still have a lot to offer in terms of student life and educational quality.

In choosing a safety school, the key is to ensure it ticks off most (if not all) of your criteria, so you'd be happy attending there if you don't get into your reach schools. I suggest you visit these campuses if you can, to get a feel for the environment and see if they fit what you're looking for. Best of luck!
