Hi!
I am a senior applying to Midd, and I was just wondering if you could tell me about the social life at Middlebury. Does the school bring activities to campus for the students? Are there performances, lectures, plays, concerts, and special events? Do students participate in these events? Also, what is the sports scene like - do students go to games?
Thanks!
Yes to speakers, performances, lectures, plays, concerts, special events, organized by both students and the school. Students participate, although some activities are more popular than others. Sports scene-- hard to say. Probably one of the LACs with a larger jock population, but I don’t feel like going to games is really that much of a thing, although I suppose it depends on the person and who they hang around with. I’ve only ever been to Water Polo matches to support my friends. There was a little bit (or a giant) controversy recently about tailgating at Homecoming, where now alcohol has been banned. For me the most surprising thing was to hear that people tailgated.
