How does Miami of Ohio sound?

Comments

I've never understood the concept of "A city/state-named university in a city/state other than the one named."

Really though, she's just settling in Ohio 'cause that's where property is cheap(er). See how she spent her Ph.D. years in San Diego? Smart one.

The native american tribe known as "Miami" were originally from the Ohio area and the university chose the name well before that snooty rich kid school/city in FLA. BTW, Ohio is from the native american word for the river that runs along the southern border of the state.

Or she's settling where she could get a job in the ridiculous academic market. :)
Don't get me started on native american named things 'cause I can break out some wissahickon, conshohocken and nesquehoning. Philly suburbs have an endless list of absurdly long names that don't sound strange until you move to San Francisco and unpack your SE Pennsylvania maps years later.
