<p>Hey,</p>
<p>So, I know that Midd has recently moved to a 4 year residential college system (Commons). Can someone explain in detail what this system entails to me, please? What are its advantages and disadvantages? Does it seem to be working well or poorly? I heard that one of the goals of such models is to build college community and increase inter-class interaction. Has the res-college model done this? I understand that Midd ran out of money to complete all of the commons and has postponed their completion indefinitely. Do you think that this has contributed to the system working in a non-ideal manner? For anyone who feels that the system is currently failing, is there anything that could be done to make such a system succesful? What could be improved about Midd's system to make it work better, and what is hopeless?</p>
<p>I would, of course, be more curious to hear what current students have to say, but I'd appreciate any feedback on this aspect of Middlebury life from anyone who has knowledge about the school. </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
