Like most education programs at small LACs, you major in another field but also take courses and student teach to get your certificate.
Son’s friend majoring in English, but planning on teaching. Comes from a family of public school teachers, and loves Midd(don’t we all…)
Colby is one of the few schools more remote than Midd! it’s a good school and the students are happy. It is somewhat less selective(not a lot)and the facilities aren’t quite as nice. The endowment is smaller, and the alumni network smaller. These are all minor points, of course, so I would visit if you haven’t and decide from there.
Brandeis is more a commuter school, city environment, and also a great school but not the same model as the NE LAC.
For the drinking thing, there is plenty to do at both schools without drinking-outdoor activities, clubs, politics, club sports…
You are a very lucky young lady(?) Congrats and wherever you go, I’m sure you’ll meet those goals.
