<p>Hey CCers.</p>

<p>I am a high school student wishing to attend Middlebury College. Unfortunately, I have been unable to go up to Vermont and actually visit the school. I had done my research via the web and have found a lot of info. I like everything about Middlebury but my preference for this school is based only on sources which do not reveal the specifics an actual student may know.</p>

<p>What about Middlebury made you choose this school over another LAC? To me, many LACs seem to have similar curriculum, atmospheres, etc. </p>

<p>Likewise, how is the liberal arts curriculum at Midd diff than the other liberal arts curriculum at other LAC? </p>

<p>How are the students at Middlebury like? Laid back, wild, studious, so on</p>

<p>Also, last question, can I take a language when I am a regular undergrad? I want to study Chinese so can I include it in my curriculum??? Or do I have to go to a language school and study full-on, hardcore? I am not intending on majoring in a language</p>

<p>Hi ComeGraduation,</p>

<p>I’d move this thread to the Middlebury forum - you’ll get more people who are current students/parents/alumni and know much more about the school. Hope this helps!</p>

<p>Can an admin move this thread for me? Or do I repost it?</p>

<p>I can’t tell if this ever got moved or answered, but you can definitely take Chinese as a “regular” undergrad. It’s a great department. Some students choose Middlebury because of it’s strength in languages which spills over into its excellent international studies/politics majors. Others are lured by the science facilities or the excellent environmental studies program. Also, students seem love taking one course intensively in january term----many other LAC’s have this but quite a few don’t. Type of student is more difficult to say—quite studious, fairly laid back, quite a few athletes.</p>
