Why Midd over other NESCAC schools?

@OldbatesieDoc hope your family is doing well. I too have had/have two boys at Midd and will really miss all that it offers after next year. My Grad also received a great job upon graduating in NYC. Stays in contact with most of his Midd friends and they often spend weekends together in each others cities.
good luck

The four smaller schools from this group (by increasing size, Bowdoin, Amherst, Hamilton and Williams) fall within 245 students of each other by undergraduate enrollment. Middlebury, at 500 students more than the largest of the smaller schools, registers as less similar to Williams by this measure than Williams is to Bowdoin.

My daughter seems to have fallen in love with Middlebury. She’s visiting today.

My DS visits tomorrow. Was your daughter’s opinion of Middlebury changes at all after today’s visit?

To clarify, she fell in love DURING today’s visit. I’m not with her, so I can’t provide any deep insight.

I visited with my D19 last fall. Lovely place. Agree it is isolated. But, both of us were very impressed with the academics as well as other aspects. Now, only if she gets admitted…

Beautiful school, idyllic setting. Easy to fall in love there.

Definitely easy to fall in love with the campus, the setting and the athletic facilities. My second of two sons is a junior there now, his older brother graduated and he then started. Any questions I can help answer please just PM.
Best of luck

@wisteria100 When you write “fall in love” do you mean with the school, or with another person? I have a kid who already has a different crush every month, so I want to know whether it will be even worse at Midd…

@MWolf Lol- I meant the school/campus/setting. But I hope there will be opportunity for love interests for your S too!

Interesting observations about “falling in love” with or at Middlebury College. I recall reading college guides from the 1980s & 1990s that stated that Middlebury students often married other Middlebury students.

@Publisher She could do worse…
@wisteria100 It’s D now (identified as male since Middle School until last Dec or so, so I was still using S when I started here in Oct).
