<p>also, do a lot of people there tend to come from a ton of money, or is there a lot of socioeconomic diversity?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>There's lots of wealthy kids for sure, but it's fairly diverse.</p>
<p>I think of Middlebury kids as bright but not intellectual, social, outdoorsy. Almost every foreign language teacher I have had went there and when I visited and read their alumni magazine, it seem they produce a heck of a lot.</p>
<p>Little socioeconomic diversity. Many from upper middle class and wealthy New England families. Outdoorsy, beautiful people. Most are very, very friendly. Preppy in dress, perhaps, but definitely not attitude.</p>
<p>Last year Middlebury provided grant aid to more than 45 percent of the student body. For the incoming Class of 2011, the average grant amount was more than $30,000. So clearly not everyone at Middlebury is rich. And 76% of students come from outside New England, so there is geographic diversity as well.</p>
