This is looking pretty solid to me. Here's a few questions I had after reading it, though:
What about the school's athletic program? Are there sports teams that everyone gets all excited about? Any long-standing rivalries? In a similar vein, what is the school's mascot and school colors?
Which academic programs at Miami U are the most popular or considered the most prestigious or most highly ranked? How hard is it to get in there?
Does the school have a student newspaper you could link to as well?

Ooo - good questions! I'll get busy and add some answers.
(Actually the most "successful" of the sports teams are the two synchronized ice skating teams. The collegiate team has won nationals in their division five years running. The varsity team is ranked internationally and just brought home a bronze medal from Switzerland last weekend. But most folks think of football and basketball when they think about collegiate sports...)
I'll finish this over the weekend (I'm spending most of the next two days at the ice rink. )

Actually, I've seen one of their synchronized skating teams compete before -- I used to be into figure skating, and always had fun watching the synchro parts of the competitions.
Anyway, let us know when you've updated this some, and we'll come back and take another look!

Just finished updating this entry. I moved stuff around a bit: information about the university today is now in the first section called Snapshot; in here is also more info about individual academic programs. There is a new section called Athletics with info about the sports teams, school colors, and school mascot. And at the end I added links to a virtual tour of the campus, the school newspaper, and the radio station. I may have also added a typo or two but I haven't spotted them because I'm the world's worst proofreader and am 
right now...
