Both schools have outstanding English department - perhaps Middlebury has the prestige a bit more there



i remember this particular line from his post because i’ll probably major in english and considered middlebury before finally deciding to apply ED to vassar (for various reasons) and have no regrets.

he clearly has a clue about the prestige of a particular department. this can be an important piece of information for an english major for, as you know, some specific departments stand out in specific colleges and having a degree from that prestigious department can help you in grad schools.

i agree with your point, blackandblue. prestige IS something a lot of people look into. but you’re replies make it sound like his post was an attack on your question! it wasn’t! as a parent he gave his experiences and his opinion - something you’re free to do on CC. why are you getting so worked up about it? :)
