Middlebury College
- Off-Campus Housing

Quick Stats

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Most students are so locked into the "Middlebury bubble" that they hardly notice housing, let alone an entire community, exists off campus. Even the ones who are aware of life beyond campus limits have to enter a drawing to score off-campus housing, and the quota is limited to approximately 60 students per year. Given this, and the fact that on-campus housing options are typically so appealing, students rarely have the desire to leave their dorms. The LaForce and Atwater suites are pristine and look more like polished penthouses than student housing, while numerous on-campus senior houses are highly coveted and quite roomy. Although many students enjoy feeling farther removed from academics by residing more than 10 yards away from their biology lecture hall, most find it more of a hassle than a blessing to commute 20 minutes every time they have to attend class.

Middlebury and the surrounding areas are certainly host to some rather cozy housing options. Furthermore, most are not outrageously overpriced, and admittedly do afford students the chance to escape a frenetic academic lifestyle once classes have let out for the day. The fact remains, however, that it is difficult to obtain off-campus housing, and it is often not worth the sweat and tears when you have to spend precious study and play time driving to class, lectures, organization meetings, on-campus performances, and so on.

Unnecessary but Available

Very comfortable and affordable options are available but on- campus house is excellent and available for all 4 years so this is not really necessary.

Off-Campus Housing

Hardly anyone lives off-campus, because you have to enter a draw to get permission and there are limited options. In addition, if you don't have a car, it makes it hard to live off-campus, especially in winter.

Off-Campus Housing

Because Midd is a small liberal arts school, housing is provided on campus for all students. Maybe a couple dozen students live off campus in the town of Middlebury proper, but because the town is so small, students are generally already aware of what off-campus options are available. The apartments are easy to find, though limited in number, generally at least $700 for a two-bedroom apartment, and always within a few minutes' walk of campus.
