I have heard the Club Midd thing can turn one off from Middlebury. Does Amherst have the same thing goin on?



The “Club Midd” moniker actually stems from the look of Middlebury’s campus and the quality of the facilities. The campus has large expanses of gently rolling lawns, and the buildings are neatly placed amid groves of trees with views of the mountains in the distance. It reminds many of a holiday resort (a la Club Med). Hence the nickname “Club Midd.” Amherst’s campus is nice, but it’s more like a Sandals. ;-)
