Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Most people you talk to who are still in school at Middlebury are more than satisfied with their college experience or else they wouldn’t be doling out the high tuition to come here. The academics are outstanding, though you may wonder where your classes will take you later. Students often wish they toiled less at the books and more at the booze, but the pristine facilities tend to distract from scholastic misery. Professors are brilliant, witty, and sympathetic, although there are some haughty bumps in the road. The on-campus social scene is lively and shot through with school spirit. The athletics puts Middlebury at the top of its division, and the area is quaint (“quaint,” unfortunately, being the opposite of any adjective suggestive of “nightlife”).

Middlebury provides an incredibly varied experience—an opportunity to stick your paintbrush in all shades of colors, so to speak. Students can leave Middlebury with seven different areas of study, visits to 10 foreign countries, and/or stories of rock climbing in New Zealand under their belts. Sure, you’ll inevitably take a class or two that ends up as the bane of your existence for a semester, and you will cringe at the titanic tuition bill every month, but the people you’ll meet and the places you’ll go will set your experience apart from those of other students in your high school’s graduating class. The daunting ambitions of others around you will provide a constant challenge to your own motivations, actions, and thoughts.

Campus Dining at Middlebury College

Delicious

Middlebury has awesome food. There's three dining halls for breakfast and lunch during the week, two on the weekends, and two for dinner. On the weekends brunch is served from 7-2 (breakfast and lunch foods). The menus are always great, and if one dining hall looks unappetizing the others usually look great. No meal plan, which makes eating / snacking really flexible, and they're really good about to-go containers. Middkids love their food. I've had days where I've sat in the dining hall until it closed for lunch and showed up again when it opened for dinner, staying til closing with friends.

<3

Midd Kids are beautiful people. We love the outdoors, and tend to be pretty active people. Over half of the student body is involved in a sport, some people in two. Even the non-athletes still get out there and play though, skiing, hiking mountains, etc. I remember freshman year when we had a snow day because the power went out and it seemed like everyone on campus was outside playing in the snow. We like to have fun. Not only are the people at Middlebury superficially beautiful and fit, but they're also hard working, brilliant, interesting and engaging individuals who are passionate about something.

I Don't Really See It--Drinking Much More Popular

I'm sure hard drug use is somewhat present, but all I've really come in contact with is weed, which is easy to avoid if you'd rather. It's not a central aspect of student life though, and it's not a pressured situation at all. No peer pressure. Drinking is definitely a much more popular activity.
