| Quite Bright | Straight up-- don't go to middlebury-- at least without some serious though. I won't lie; you will get an amazing education, meet a handful of amazing people/life-long friends, and you'll do both on a campus that resembles a country club. My review paints Middlebury in quite a good light becauase it doesn't ask about what is most important about a college: tradition, a social life independent from what the administration hands you on a silver platter, and an administration that is responsive to student sentiments. I am currently a junior, and most of my friends have seriously entertained the idea of transfering-- the smart ones have. This school has SO much potential to be what it used to be, but it fails every step of the way. Also, don't come here unless they get rid of the common system over the next couple of years. | Campus Aesthetics: A+, Social Life: D+ |  | | |

| Bright | Middlebury's student body is composed of a majority of rich party kids. I met some really great people and there are many who are friendly, but mostly I found the students to be unapproachable and close-minded. If you want an outdoors oriented college life, Middlebury is is very suitable. I found the winters perfect for snowshoeing, skiing, and having cold fun outside. The bitter cold in January only keeps the unadventurous brat inside. I didn't sense a terribly creative atmosphere within Middlebury; people seemed content to just study and drink until they puke in the hall way. Unless you have a car or friend with one, the campus can become horribly isolating. You have to take an expensive transportation service to get to either the airport or the train stations nearby. The nearest and only "big" city in the entire state of Vermont is a 30-40 minute drive. My expectations for Midd were sadly unmet in most regards. Go here if you don't stress too much and can handle the conformists in polo shirts and baseball caps. Most have the same fleece too. I am transfering. | Campus Aesthetics: A, Surrounding City: C- |  | | |

| Not so bright | 1) This school is way too expensive. Secondly, the kids are arrogant and wealthy, and don't give the time of day to you if you are not. The classes are good, but it is pretty easy to get by if you "play the game", which I don't. Vermont is nice, and so is the campus but I miss the city, The social life is repetitive too. | Individual Value: A-, Social Life: D- |  | | |

| Bright | Middlebury is the most elitist place I have ever encountered. The students are extremely closeminded and arrogant. Sometimes I wonder why some of them even went to college when it seems they already have the world all figured out. The social life gets old fast. There isn't much to do other than get drunk with the same people every weekend. Although the teachers are excellent, go somewhere in or near a city, I think there is a lot more to gain from that type of atmosphere. | Education Quality: A, Social Life: D- |  | | |
