Hey. I’m a US citizen that did high school in Australia. I have assessed my options and before Ivy day I am looking at Middlebury and Wesleyan. I am interested in studying Mathematics and English and dabbling in a few other disciplines. I am looking for some opionions before I visit both again. Any insight would be appreciated, thanks!!!
I do acknowledge the importance of reputation and prestige for future employment.
Both are very good academically, of course. Anyone facing this choice, assuming cost is not a determining factor, should look at fit.
These schools have different settings and vibes:
- Wes is in a small city. Midd is quite rural.
- Wes has more of an artsy and nerdy vibe than Midd. I would call Midd's student population fairly balanced for a LAC.
Hopefully those two points will help to inform your decision.
Hey, thanks for your response and insight. Does anyone know how the departments of mathematics and english compare across the two schools?
