Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

If one opinion is heard more loudly than any other, it’s that Middlebury students think they’re pretty hot. This could mean that they’re arrogant, but they like to call it honesty. True, people here often seem hijacked from the pages of Abercrombie and Patagonia catalogs, but at least those catalogs are full of models, right? As for personality, students tend to have lots of it, or at least make an effort to seem like they do. Middlebury students study hard and play twice as hard—and let’s just say they study very hard. To better fit the Middlebury mold, see if you can’t work for a foreign embassy, or at least learn to surf in Australia before you arrive here.

To paraphrase Steve Hofstetter, author of "Student Body Shots," if you can’t find someone at college, you should just give up. Think about the lot you’ve been given: 2,500 young people, all within your age bracket, 99 percent unmarried, all in their sexual prime, eating together, studying together, and living together, oftentimes under the influence of alcohol. On the other hand, he must have been talking about hooking up because most students at Middlebury—particularly the guys—are not looking for love so early in their lives. Although you will meet your share of naïve study- and activities-nerds, there’s a freak in most of us geeks that’s looking to have a boisterous ball, especially on the weekends.

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.

Great Looking People

Once you visit the campus you will understand that people here are generally attractive. It is surprising and unexpected from a liberal arts school in Vermont but most people are interesting, good looking, and athletic.

Facts

Social Scene

Basically, it's "in" to be an extrovert, and the more outgoing and involved you are, the more respect you will earn. The most common "type" at Middlebury is the "da Vinci"—someone who's competitive at everything, including drinking and sleeping. The one thing that's larger than the amount of alcohol consumed, however, is the students' academic conscience. It's not that it's hard to find someone at Middlebury, it's just difficult to convince him or her that you're worth one hour per night over his or her chemistry book. Everyone always has more work or has done more important things than the next guy. For the most part, Middlebury’s social scene is dominated by sports teams or social/special-interest houses that usually have the best resources and spaces available to throw parties.

Hookups or Relationships?

If you consider a serious relationship one grinding session to a song at a McCullough dance party, passing out in a sweat-drenched heap back in some stranger's dorm room, and a "please don't call me tomorrow," then Middlebury's your place to find true love. There's a lot of hooking up; therefore, by default, there are lots of singles. Some are involved in long-distance relationships, yet students who date among the Middlebury crowd are rare. Those who do date usually fall into the “Middlebury marriage” stereotype; and there’s not much in between—you’re either casually hooking up with someone or in a very serious relationship.

Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls

Private dorm parties, student organizations, and the Grille/Juice Bar are smart places to meet relatively self-respecting males and females. Social houses, McCullough dance parties, The Bunker, and sports team parties are the best locations to meet shameless, drunken, life-sized hormones who you'll never have to see again. The choice is yours, and both parties seem equal when it comes to good looks.

Dress Code

Most people will tell you that it's hard to distinguish Middlebury students from a J.Crew ad, and while that might be true, there are still crunchy kids and casual dressers. Some dress this way for the cause of originality alone, while others simply like the feel of sweatpants and hairy legs beneath hand-woven, hemp skirts. As for the outdoorsy dressing crowd, you have to ask yourself if it's better to be the guy who wears chamois shirts, smells like fish, and was raised on the Appalachian Trail, or the guy who covers himself in North Face insignia and grew up in Manhattan. The latter probably outnumbers the former.
