Middlebury or Wesleyan?

Well, my s chose Middlebury over Wesleyan, but it was not an easy choice. I think he just felt more comfortable at Middlebury, after spending 3 days at each school. He is an athlete and will be on the soccer team, and Middlebury is paradise for an athlete. He waited until the end of the month to finally decide, letting his experiences and impressions work at the subconscious level until he figured out what truly felt right for him. It was an interesting process to watch, and his dad and I were determined not to persuade or interfere (although we had been rooting a bit for Wes, as it seemed more diverse). Still, when you choose one path over another, sometimes you can’t help but wonder about the road not taken…

We are glad to have the decision made and now it is time to welcome a new stage in our s’s life. We live in Tallahassee, Florida, and so this will truly be a change for him. I have no doubt that he will do well, absolutely love it at Middlebury, and make the most out of his college experience.

I’d like to thank all of you for your thoughtful responses.
