Main differences between Vassar, Hamilton, and Middlebury

Well done - you can’t go wrong with all three of your choices.

As a plug for Vassar, I just wanted to highlight some of its interesting and influential alums. If we exclude alumnae/i from the 19th and 20th centuries and only focus on classmates from 1990/91 (when I graduated) following is a pretty impressive sample:

  • Jonathan Karl – ABC Chief White House Correspondent (and editor-in-chief of the conservative Vassar Spectator)
  • Caterina Fake – Co-founder of Flickr and Silicon Valley entrepreneur
  • Jeffery Brenner – Physician and MacArthur Fellow "Genius Award"
  • Ilyse Hogue – former president NARAL
  • Mitch Truit – Co-CEO Apax Partners
  • Ebony Boulware – Vice Dean, Duke Medical School
  • Danny Jones – Guggenheim Fellow, Drama
  • Elizabeth Murdoch – media entrepreneur
  • Jason Blum – Oscar nominated producer – Whiplash, Get Out, BlacKkKlansman
  • Noah Baumbach – Oscar nominated writer/director – The Squid and the Whale, Marriage Story
