<p>Update: My daughter and I just returned from Middlebury’s admit preview event this weekend, including an overnight stay for her. We both enjoyed the location and the people we met. Vermont is truly beautiful (as icy9ff8 said), Middlebury’s curriculum seems progressive and the facilities top notch. For those of you thinking about the sciences, they have a state-of-the art science building (Bicentennial Hall) and quality science program, which tends to get overshadowed by the International Studies and Language fame Midd enjoys. It certainly does get cold, and we had a light snow shower while we were there, but there is a ton of stuff to do on campus and the mountains are, well, right there for outdoor adventure. In short, Middlebury seems to have a lot of positive momentum on many fronts.
We met many cross admits to Bowdoin. It really does come down to the intangible (Vermont’s mountains vesus the coast of Maine). Unfortunatey we were not able to visit Bowdoin.<br>
We were short of time so we could not meet with every department, but if there are any theatre students reading this, we would appreciate your feedback on how lively the drama and theatre scene is at Middlbury.
We appreciate all of your help.</p>
