Miami is exactly what the college experience should be! Great support all around. Easy to make friends, and you’re able to learn a lot and have fun.

Alec Martin, Advice to Prospective Students

Out of all the universities you looked at, what made you ultimately choose Miami?

I chose Miami because of the great financial aid they gave me. I also went because of the small class size.


How did you choose your major(s)?

I have always wanted to become a teacher; it is definitely my calling in life and my passion. I just like history, so I picked social studies.


Tell us about any special experiential learning opportunities that have influenced you in a positive way.

Joining EHSA and College Mentors for Kids really let me jump into my career during my freshman year, which made me really happy.


As a Miami student, what are some of your awards and accomplishments? Are you a student leader? Tell us about that and what roles you have played in the Miami community.

I have worked at a lot of EHS open houses and worked on student panels answering questions to prospective students and their families.


What are your plans after you graduate from Miami? What is your dream job?

My dream job is to be a high school history teacher in the Cincinnati area.


Is there anything else you'd like to share about your Miami experience that we didn't cover?

I have a twin brother named Owen Martin, who also goes here, studying Political Science. My favorite professor is Scott Sanders. He’s a great guy. So is Amanda McVety. I just recently started her class, and I can tell she cares so much.
