In January 2010, I visited Oxford, Ohio for the first time after taking many colleges around the state, schools that include Ohio State, Cincinnati, Akron, Kent State, and Ohio. Before visiting Miami, I was absolutely dead-set on going to UC; I was in love with the campus and the city (plus, it didn't hurt that the Bearcats were stupid loaded around that time with Zach Collaros, Mardy Gilyard, and Isaiah Pead, and their uniforms are still pretty dope). Despite all the snow in Ox, I just fell in love with everything about the place: the town, the halls, the academics, the history, the opportunities, everything.
