Oxford, OH

Oxford is a southwest Ohio city best known as the home of Miami University. The city lies within the Congress Lands west of the Miami River, but its modern identity is overwhelmingly college-town: brick academic buildings, student housing, uptown bars and restaurants, and a calendar shaped by the university. Oxford also has international ties through Miami University's Dolibois European Center. It feels youthful and academic, but still rooted in Butler County's small-town and farm-country setting.
