<p>Hey any of you first year Midd kids,</p>

<p>My son will be applying this fall and we have a visit scheduled for November, 2012. Are there any young men willing to host him on their dorm room floor then? He will be in Ecuador during the accepted students’ overnight visit dates (if he’s accepted). If you might be willing, please “personal message” me and we can talk details.</p>

<p>Thanks for considering an informal hosting option!</p>

<p>So Alibhai, where did you enroll? Did you decide to attend Midd?</p>
