Gorgeous.
Middlebury has an amazing relationship with the town. The campus and its surrounding are gorgeous, moving to NY to work post graduation ( which is where most Mid students go) could be a shock having been used to so much natural beauty. Most items that a college student would require are very readily available.

Professors Are ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS
Class after class you will be stunned by the quality of the teachers here. They are extremely smart and care about you and your aspirations. You will become friends with most of your professors who will also in many cases become life long mentors. If this sounds too good to be true, come see for yourself that sometimes things are perfect and true. The course load is very challenging but from a college like Midd I wouldn't expect anything else. Work hard and you will learn and grow more than you thought possible.

Best Economics Program in the Country
The head of the economics department once wrote an article where he said that if the number of students studying economics were a guide to naming the college it would be the "Middlebury School of Economics". Williams has a department that is comparable but is very very left leaning while at Midd there is a nice balance. Absolutely fabulous teachers.

Dorms Like Palaces Indeed
Excellent Housing. You will be completely satisfied with your housing situation in any dorm. The only college I visited ( and I visited many) that had comparable ( and actually slightly better) dorms was Bowdoin. The take away message is: Housing is fabulous.

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.

Career Service Is Ranked One of the Best in the Nation (Princeton Review 2010)
Look at the Princeton Review ranking of career services as well as a Forbes ranking and you will see that Career Service will do absolutely anything they can to help you land the internship you need or want.

Friendly and Accepting
There is a lot of socio-economic and international diversity with one of the highest percentages of international students from 60 plus nations. There are now more Posse scholars than ever before adding to the ethnic and socio-economic mix. Middlebury is much more diverse than its close competitors like Williams and Bowdoin.

Fantastic Aid
I am currently receiving 57,000 dollars a year with my parents contributing absolutely nothing as I earn the rest from work. The college has money and will draw talent no matter what it costs.

One of the Best Colleges in the Country
Economics at Middlebury is one of the best Econ programs in the country. For my future in corporate law and investment banking I could not have asked for a better undergraduate education. Banks and business/law schools appreciate what the middlebury education entails and hire/admit in droves.
