<p>Hey guys!!! So I recently visited Midd and fell in love with it. Honestly, I couldn't have asked for anything more in a college. However, when I returned to my school and was set on attending Midd, one of my friends who had been leaning towards other colleges decided on Midd after I started talking about it. She has now also decided to attend Midd. Although this shouldn't bother me, it really does. I had been excited about leaving Macon, GA behind and starting with a fresh outlook in the most amazing college I had ever seen. But I feel like my unique experience is being threatened by someone who will always tie me to my hometown. Can anyone please alleviate my irrational thinking? Has anyone else attended/ will attend school with a fellow classmate and has a different outlook than mine? I just need some assurance right now.</p>
<p>Midd is big enough that you may never see each other. OTOH you may find you enjoy having a traveling companion. Either way, there are many things in life we can’t control. This is one of them. Midd will be wonderful, but it won’t be perfect. Nothing ever is. You’re just finding this out sooner, not later.</p>
<p>One of S’s things about attending Midd is that not many kids from his school and our town typically head to Midd. Interesting then that his year there were two and the year after, there ended up to be about 4 and and then three the next year. He has actually become great friends with the one girl who went from his class, but those he doesn’t care to see are easily avoided and those who are very different from him, he doesn’t see regardless. And now he assumes that his great experience is what has other people going! Men can have egos like that. 
In any event, don’t let one student burst your bubble. Even the girl from his class is hugely different than him - art history and international studies major. And i only WISH they would travel together but they never do - except on a road trip to Burlington and Montreal.</p>
<p>Oh, don’t be silly. My second son initially was going to rule Midd out because his brother was there. Then he came to his senses. They are in different commons and different majors, so they don’t run into each other by accident very often.
Of course, they do meet by arrangement regularly. It’s a small school but not that small!</p>
