Middlebury is her goal, but she needs other options...

Kids at MCLA can take courses at Williams. I don’t know if any of them go, but it’s officially an option.

The option exists in theory, but I believe the opportunity is relatively limited in practice. For this to work, I suspect you would have to have a strong academic record at MCLA, and would have to make a good case that you needed a particular course at Williams that was not available at MCLA.

I know of an MCLA student who came to Williams for coursework in geology (geology is not offered at MCLA), did well, and was ultimately accepted as a transfer. But I suspect that such a move is unusual.

Williams students can theoretically take courses at MCLA or Bennington, although again I suspect this option is very rarely utilized, except possibly for dance or other arts at Bennington. I don’t think MCLA and Bennington have an arrangement.
