Two more things and then I'll shut up:

At CC, you are likely to have way more field work than at Midd. This has up and down sides. A geology professor at another school told me that the CC kids he knew had the best practical skills but not the best training in theory of the kids he worked with on a summer program. Both are necessary and the balance is up to you.

Re your discomfort at Midd: On the other thread, you said you are from Oklahoma. Probably a large proportion of the Midd kids are from N.E. I know that many western kids have to go through a real adjustment when the go to a NE school. We are used to a more relaxed culture. So, this may be a stretch for you that you find a positive challenge.........or an encumbrance when you could be using your energy in another way.
