I pretty much agree with everything posted above except the no-brainer post. My son is at Grinnell and chose it over many other options for the unpretentiousness and unconventionality of its students and profs–even the president! And yet the facilities and resources are tremendous. That said, we know lots of local kids at Midd and none of them are pretentious or snobby or preppy–they’re just able to live with prep. The Fiske guide described Grinnell students as “funky and progressive”. Midd students, as a whole, don’t fit that description very well. Really depends on what you’re looking for.
