First: Realize that while psychology is great, it's not really a practical degree and you will definitely have to continue your education (I went to law school). Unless you're bent on law school or grad school, consider a different major.

As graduate of Miami's psychology program I enjoyed the small class sizes (except for 101, but even that course has discussion sections of 10 students), a knowledgeable factually, amazing course options (ranging from jury selection to child attachment, from cultural psychology to happiness). The building is only a few years old and looks like it! Great space with great amenities. The professors were also very knowledge and helpful, I definitely recommend. Dr. Len Mark.

Academically, Miami generally has a better rating and is consistently ranked as having the best teachers and best value in the country. Of course, it does depend on the program. OU has an excellent journalism program from what I understand.

As for the social scene, it is what you make of it. No college is free of groups and stereotypes (as illustrated by the responses/mind set that dominate OU thinking). Miami does have a strong Greek scene which can be isolating if you don't go that route but I was involved in many other activities such as a professional society, a club sport, resident life, and numerous volunteer organizations. Chances are, if there's something you're passionate about there's a club where you can find others with similar interests . . . as a side note, OU does have the reputation of a party school, partly because of their Halloween celebration (and let's be real, there's not much else do so in the middle of nowhere). Miami may not have the reputation, but I would have to imagine parties just as hard/frequently. What this means is that for day-to-day living, the difference doesn't matter, but it might once you enter the work force. DID I MENTION, the girls are really attractive? Just about everyday you'll the most beautiful girl you've ever seen. Not sure where they all come from but it's pretty crazy.

Oxford is also a great little town! Everything that you could ever need is within walking distance of campus (minus the grocery store). It is a bit rural but so is OU so that doesn't seem important.

From my understanding, they both have beautiful campuses. Miami's campus is kind of large, sometimes taking more than 25 minutes to cross campus, but it's so pretty (and the sidewalks well-maintained/shoveled) that it doesn't really matter.

Anyway, I'd recommend Miami but I have friends from both so I'm sure you'll do just fine!
