Georgetown or Middlebury?

I am going to be struggling with this one for the next month…I was just accepted to both schools and, while I think both would be a good fit for me, I want to make sure I make the best decision. I’ll be attending a preview day in a few weeks at Middlebury to see campus and get a feel for the student body vibe…I have siblings at Gtown and have visited multiple time. So which school would you choose and why? Is one “better” than the other? They are just about as different as two colleges can be and I fear that choosing the wrong school will condemn me to a year of torment…

Ps, I plan to major in linguistics and/or literature. I am most interested in the humanities. I also love the outdoors. Things I am considering are size, energy of student body, academic rigor, and what the geographic setting can offer.

I have posted this to both the Midd and GU forums.
