College Prowler Take
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 they’ll 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 put 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. Students Speak Out

Honestly, I can’t see myself being happy anywhere else. It took some time to adjust to the intensity of Middlebury; the academics are certainly nothing to sneeze at. But looking at my experience from the tail end, I see how well everything has worked out. I have found a really great and diverse friend group and have managed to balance my schoolwork and social life so as not to drive myself crazy with work. I think finding that balance is the key to enjoying life at Middlebury. |

I have had an unbelievable time at Middlebury. I’m glad I chose a small liberal arts college over a university. I’ve really benefited from the tight community and academic rigor. Looking back, I made the right choice. |

I could hardly imagine a place where I would be happier. I only wish that the winters were not so frigid, but there is definitely something endearing about the fact that the entire student body breaks out its flip-flops when it hits 40 degrees. |

Sometimes I wish I’d gone somewhere where I would have had more free time, but when I think about the opportunities that are open to me because I went to Middlebury and excelled in such a rigorous academic environment; I’m happy that I stuck it out! Middlebury is a great place brimming with talented and fun people, and a generally friendly and helpful staff. I would come here again if I had to choose. |

I like the school, and I am glad I came here. Now that I am about to graduate and don’t know what I want to do with my life, and realize all the bills that are going to start coming in for my student loans, I have to wonder if going somewhere less expensive might have been a better idea. For now, I don’t have any regrets regarding my choice, and I feel that the education and the contacts I obtained here will help me in the end, anyway. |
