<p>hi, everyone. i'm a senior right now trying to narrow down my college choices to the ones i really honestly think i could see myself attending.</p>
<p>so while i am interested in middlebury, i was wondering you guys could give me a completely honest portrait of what it's like to be a student there.</p>
<p>maybe you could answer the following questions?</p>
<p>1.) what are the classes like? extremely hard? fairly easy? there's not an open curriculum at middlebury, right?
2.) i want to be a movie editor/producer/filmmaker. i know middlebury is not well-known for film. i am applying to schools known for film (usc, chapman, nyu, etc) but i like middlebury as a school anyway. if i were to go to middlebury instead of a film-centric school, would i pretty much kiss my chances of being a filmmaker goodbye?
3.) i'm a bi guy. is middlebury bi-friendly? are all orientations well-represented at middlebury?
4.) does it get boring at middlebury? i hear that the neighboring city doesn't offer much and that it can boring. true? false?
5.) what do people generally do for fun at middlebury? i'm interested in joining a lot of student clubs. but i don't like drinking or doing drugs. are clubs big ways of socializing? how prevalent is drinking/drugs? are sports HUGE there? cuz i'm only into playing for fun.
6.) how is financial aid? i'd need a ton to go there.
7.) what is the typical middlebury student like?
8.) does the small size ever make it boring/suffocating? like do you know everyone at the school within the first year and never meet anyone new?</p>
<p>and any other info about what it's REALLY like to be at middlebury would be really helpful.</p>
<p>like is there any certain criteria i NEED to fit to be happy at middlebury? (for instance, it's a lot better to be liberal at brown than republican.) does anything like this apply to middlebury? thanks a lot guys!</p>
