<p>How would you describe the typical Middlebury student? Middlebury is one my top choices for college and before applying I'd like to know if I would fit in here. </p>
<p>Also, do you know if it's possible to take more than one language at Midd?</p>
<p>Stereotypically Middlebury students are considered to be upper-class white athletic and outdoorsy. </p>
<p>I however, find this not to be true. The Middlebury campus is made up of students from all walks of life with a wide array of experiences and beliefs. The first few weeks of school are often spent hearing about people’s trips to nepal or the time they swam with dolphins. That’s not to say that if you haven’t done these things you won’t fit in. The admissions office does a great job at admitting students that they know will thrive on campus. The typical Middlebury student is curious, engaging, accepting and interesting and I have never met as many fascinating people in one place.</p>
<p>And yes, it’s totally possible to take more than one language at Midd. I started Chinese here (now it’s my major) and I’ve taken French most semesters, even managing to squeeze in a semester of Spanish (which I took in high school along with French).</p>
<p>A suggestion before you apply to any school: visit, visit, visit.</p>
<p>You will be amazed at how easy it is to discern the “culture” of a campus, as well as whether or not the setting is a good fit for you.</p>
<p>My D and I visited four schools out East last year and she was able to eliminate two that looked good on paper in terms of academics and her interests, but completely turned her off in terms of the attitudes of students, and interactions that she observed between staff and students.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>to generalize, i’d sum up the typical Middkid in three words: outdoorsy, quirky and worldly… and when I say quirky, I mean in a “dance like no one’s watching” type of way. We not only love to learn but also love to have a lot of fun… very necessary to stay sane considering the hefty workload at Midd.</p>
