Middlebury vs. Amherst?

Volleyball,

Hard to answer this question: both are great schools, but they have different strengths. Have a good look at both, work out what it is you want in a school and then take it from there.

The only thing I would say is that either would be a great experience, but as is true for all of the top institutions, what you get out of one versus another is at least as much down to what you as an individual put into it rather than the institution itself. What I mean by this is that I know Middkids who went through four years and did fine but didn’t exert themselves who have had a tougher time in graduate school and the job market than those who went to a less selective place as an undergrad but worked really hard.
