<p>visited both schools quite seriously with S, and agree that Middlebury delivers a great education and strong peer group. Putting in a vote for Dartmouth, despite the fact that I believe it would be a better school with less of a Greek system social focus. The kids really struck us as remarkable, individualistic (not pack mentality at all) and high spirited. There is a great balance between lively intellect and fresh air outdoorsiness on campus and we felt that economic and cultural diversity was strong. Love the size of the college and find it intimate and undergrad cozy but not stiflingly small.<br>
There is no bad choice here, however.</p>
