Middlebury Hurting Itself

The OP has some kind of ax to grind and we are keeping it going(myself included). It’s all very silly and pointless.
If you don’t get the info you need from your student tour guide/admissions leader, ask for more info.
If the coach doesn’t want to talk to you, that’s a sign of another sort.
There are plenty of classes, sections, seats, J term classes etc.

After having been to about 20 info sessions, Midd was in the top 3 for our family-Carleton and Bates also stood out. Amherst and Bowdoin were awful, and MIT was weird. The Dartmouth student talked incessantly about beer. These things happen.

Always get all the info you can before applying to a school. Visits are probably worth the effort if you can afford it. Midd, like all colleges, isn’t nirvana for everyone. But a Princeton Review “School runs like butter” and the extremely low transfer rate, and high student satisfaction rate, should be considered as meaningful.

Our family “n” of 2 is very happy with Midd…
