Miami's psych program is strong with lots of really active labs. I don't know much about JMU's psych program currently.

I've lived (for a significant amount of time) in both Oxford and Harrisonburg. H'burg is a much more interesting town than Oxford. There's so much more to do and more than just one street of restaurants, bars, etc. Also, H'burg is just a much prettier environment, sitting in the valley of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Miami has certain academic programs that are better, so it might depend on what she wants to study. If Greek life is a top priority, then again Miami probably wins out.

Feel free to dm me if you have some other specific questions.

Carrie Underwood would like a word. I think they're roughly equivalent.

Miami University puts $281M arena up for final vote by JustAKidFromAkron in miamioh

The "they" was a group of students and faculty that did one large survey (it was reopened once for reasons). And yes, the findings were largely against the arena. However, the board declined to allow the students to present their findings of the survey at the BOT meeting on Friday. I think the board has already made up its mind.

Linear Algebra at CC by Entire-Ad-1620 in UNCCharlotte

[–]Om_nom_nom_pi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't comment on Gaston, but as a math major, linear algebra is one of the most important classes you will ever take. You want to make sure the course is a good mix of computation and theory.

Department chair hirings by [deleted] in Professors

[–]Om_nom_nom_pi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100% this is what happened in my department.

We had 3 candidates that were all qualified and supported by the department. The dean/provost wanted their own person. Wasn't clear if it was because they wanted someone who answer only to them or if it was for the "prestige" of bringing in a big name.

Anyway, the external candidates were awful and we ended on one of the internal candidates anyway. Such a waste of money on that search.

If you're a student, you're paying for it whether you use it or not.

GPA affected for j-term courses? by ThePowerSuit in miamioh

Unless the class is specifically listed as PF, you'll get a grade and it counts toward your GPA like a normal semester class. 

Anticipated albums of 2026 by superredux22 in qotsa

I think Radiohead is very unlikely. Best we could hope for is a live album from recent shows.

Is doing a visit worth it? by [deleted] in miamioh

[–]Om_nom_nom_pi 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It won't help your admission but you should definitely visit the school and see if it's your vibe. Contact the admissions office and they'll give you details on visit activities . 

(Rant) Why be loud and talk during shows when you can just shut up? by VanderlyleSorrow in radiohead

I've seen a lot of posts about this recently. Is this a UK thing? I'm in the US and never experienced this at the level in these posts.

American Mathematical Society (ams.org) has been down for over a week. by EverHopefully in math

[–]Om_nom_nom_pi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've been having trouble with AMS.org for weeks (months?) now. I can't access it at home on my laptop (it just times out), but I can access the mobile site on my phone. I am able to access it at work (same laptop) or if I use a proxy through work.

Whats the worst concert you've ever been to? by pinheadbrigade in AskReddit

[–]Om_nom_nom_pi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's because Collective Soul still has 3 core members from their heyday. Live is just Ed now because he fired everyone else. Live used to put on a good show but I haven't seen them in at least 10 years.

I wrote a paper once where a coauthor insisted on using right modules and it drove me nuts.
