All of this is so helpful, thanks. I am wondering what you think might be the best way to find a room-mate if you're unable to travel to Oxford for a visit... I don't have a car (yet, I'm thinking I'll need to procure one if I'm ever to leave the state) but I'd like to bunk up with someone when I'm there.

I'm going to try to revive this thread for those of us considering Miami U for this coming fall term! What is the best way to go about finding a room-mate etc? And what is the deal in terms of being able to travel out of state without a car? It seems like all the cities where the Megabus, Greyhound, Amtrak and airports are located are kind of a hike from Oxford. Do you have to have a car to survive?

Okay so, I only really made a big effort to contact professors with whom I'd like to work at my top choice school, where I've already been rejected. I am very tempted to contact a professor or two at my second chocie school even though the app was already due/ been submitted. Is it bad form to contact POIs for the first time after you've applied? If not, what is the best way to go about it? Has anyone tried this before?
