So I was surprised to learn that Midd requires students to stay on campus in January to take a class, and it doesn’t exactly appeal to me much since I would rather have one long break than two short ones, and I live 5 hours away and can’t go back and forth easily.
Do Midd students find it nice because you can take just one class? Or do people dislike it because they don’t get much of a break and they feel too stressed all the time? Also, what can you do for the two terms off-campus? Can you get a month-long internship for credit? Or do most people just do a study abroad term instead?
For Febs, I do not want to be accepted as a Feb student as class of 2021.5. Is it true that some people are accepted as a Feb even if they choose the September only option on the application? If so, how many and can you negotiate out of it?
thanks!
