Middlebury or Wesleyan?

Well, if he’s visited both schools, there’s no use telling him that Middlebury is isolated; it’s even more isolated than Williams, if you can imagine that. And I don’t know what part of the country you’re from; but, there are parts of Vermont that still have snow on the ground from a month ago-- that’s how late springtime arrives; Middlebury students may not see green grass again until next Fall, after which point it sticks around for about six weeks.

Also, there is increased grumbling about the student/faculty ratio which is about 12:1, much lower than Wesleyan’s and a factor many kids cite when they can’t get into a class they want.
