<p>..... Any comments?</p>
<p>It's not. Trust me. I'm from Maine. I've been to the middle of nowhere, and Middletown ain't it. Middletown has, you know, buildings. And 24-hour supermarkets. And ethnic restaurants. Not things you find in the middle of nowhere. I would like it if Middletown's main commercial district was right across the street from Wesleyan instead of 4 blocks away on Main St., but it's definitely not the middle of nowhere.</p>
<p>Ok.. and how far from NYC and Boston??</p>
<p>.... Ahh.. I dunno how I'm gonna be able to live in the suburbs....</p>
<p>How big is MIddletown?
Does it have clubs?
And malls?
What's it like in general.... Any art galleries/museums...? what's there to do</p>
<p>It is not in the middle of nowhere at all. Granted, it might not be in a great location, but it's okay... lots of good, cheap ethnic restaurants. I don't think there are any clubs, but there are bars and a few music/arts venues. Middletown has 43,000 people. I think the main thing about Wesleyan, though, is that it is a very central location. It is about a half hour away from New Haven, an hour and a half away from New York, and two hours away from Boston. (I'm not positive about the times, though.)</p>
<p>Alright thanks for the comments :)</p>
<p>Ok doesn't sound TOO bad..
Hm.. an hour and a half from NYC.
...
Do people at Wes all have cars?</p>
<p>Isn't New Haven a real "nothing to do" place as well..?</p>
<p>New Haven has a lot in terms of restaurants/bars/clubs/music venues/theater venues.</p>
<p>New Haven's better than Hartford, anyway. Also if you can get someone to drive you to Meriden train station (10 minutes drive), yon can take Amtrak to New Haven ($6) and then Metro North to NYC ($18). Having a car is very useful, I have one.</p>
<p>As for where bands and other culture happens in Middletown, it's usually on Wesleyan's campus. That's where Middletown people go for stuff like that. I think there was some talk of the Goodspeed Opera House relocating from East Haddam to M-town, but that's a couple years off still.</p>
