About Oxford, Ohio
Miami University is located in Oxford, Ohio, a classic college town of about 8,500 non-student residents. This offers a relaxed atmosphere for graduate study. “Uptown” Oxford, adjacent to the university, has numerous specialty shops and local eateries along red-brick streets. Oxford is located near both Cincinnati and Dayton, combining the advantages of a classic college town with access to the amenities of a big city.
Oxford is located 35 miles north of Cincinnati, a city located on the banks of the Ohio River. Along the riverfront are stadiums and an arena where you can attend sporting events and concerts, as well as Bicentennial Commons, a riverside park.
Oxford is located 45 miles southwest of Dayton. Known as the “Birthplace of Aviation,” Dayton gives you the opportunity to explore aviation from past to present. You can visit the grounds of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and tour the Air Force Museum. And every summer, people flock to the city for the Dayton Air Show. Dayton is also recognized for its arts scene.
