Look. You are right. People who didn’t know Middlebury had made some gross generalizations or unfounded myths. You have the right the defend your school’s reputation. But don’t do that at the expense of the other schools. Because if you do, then people like me will feel compel to defend their schools. And then we will have a petty debate over stupid thing like “per capita.”

I’ve learned to qualify my statements so they don’t make stupid assumption or stereotypes about other people’s schools. This was how I described Middlebury in my first post:

“Middlebury…which I heard from many people is a very good liberal arts school.” (which I honestly heard from many people.)

If we all learn to do that, then CC would be little friendlier place.
