The opportunities and existing connections with successful alumni were notable attractions for me. And it was through Miami that I received internships and experiential learning opportunities this spring and summer. A sense of unity and community outreach were also striking elements to me do to a high degree of importance placed upon service. I also would be remiss if I didn&#8217;t mention that the whole audition process for music majors can be intimidating, but Miami was very inviting, accepting, and provided me with scholarships.<\/p>\n<p><strong>U.S. Congressional Member<\/strong>: Steve Chabot<br \/>\n<strong>Ohio Senator<\/strong>: William P.

After<br \/>\nvisiting several times and participating in the Bridges Program, I was impressed by the more than 600 student-run clubs and organizations, the opportunities for undergraduate research, and the interest the professors I met with seemed to show in their students\u2019 learning.
