I think McCormick makes a very valid argument. I also agree with her to some extent. As she mentioned that the brochure shows the picture of some students jumping with joy. While some of the students may be happy with their dorm rooms, location, and meal plans, I haven’t seen anyone on campus running around jumping with joy.
I have not experienced living in the doors at Miami myself. I commute, so I don’t know exactly what the dorms are like. I don’t have to wait on the showers or to wash my laundry. McCormick may be having a bad experience in her dorm and with her food. Her roommate may keep her up late sometimes, and she may not like the food, but who is to say that this isn’t an extreme case. I think the food at Miami is good, but this is just one more opinion or point of view. Most other kids may be happy with their roommates and their meal plans, or maybe not. It is hard to base a collective opinion of Miami, with over 3600 in the freshman class, off of what just one person says.
While she makes fun of all of the police around, I think it is good that they are around. I have never felt threatened or seen any reason for them to be around. Safety precautions are a good thing though, and their presence certainly can not hurt.
She did a good job explaining her argument though. She stated what it was that she didn’t like. She also backed it up with several reasons she was not enjoying her dorm and her meal plan. The way she wrote, she left the door open for many others to join in or her argument. There may be many other students who aren’t happy with their dorms or don’t always get along with their roommates. There also may be many other students who don’t like the food at Miami. I think she does make a valid argument though.
