Middlebury College
- Transportation

Ehh...

Getting to Burlington (closest city to Midd) requires an hour drive in your car or the public bus. Midd provides a chartered bus for around 100 bucks to NYC and Boston, and the airport goes around 15 bucks. If you have a car and can bring it, you won't regret it, though you probably can skip out on doing it your freshman yr, since parking sucks for first years. On campus, people mostly walk.

Local Transport Good

Buses run into town periodically during the day. At night you can call Midd Rides for a free ride into or back from town. There are break buses to Burlington, New York, and Boston, but otherwise you need a car or a ride from someone to go long distances.

Nowhere to Go.

To be honest, there is very little reason to leave campus. Middlebury is a very small town and is about 45 minutes from the nearest sizable city. Most people leave campus only to buy groceries or occasionally go out to dinner. There is a bus service that runs through Middlebury and several other nearby towns, but students rarely use it. The exception is the shuttle service that runs to Middlebury's Snow Bowl, where students go skiing in the winter. The shuttle picks students up in the center of campus 4-6 times a day. Transportation to the airport, located 45 minutes away, is fairly reasonable. Students use one of two taxi services and at breaks, ride shares with other students make the fare reasonable. Recently, the student government has begun offering a bus to the airport for a reasonable $5. Oh, and don't expect to find cheap flights to Burlington International Airport, unless you're from New York, that is.
