It’s not as if Colby is a concrete jungle in comparison to Middlebury - both have great outdoor opportunities http://www.colby.edu/outingclub/ I don’t think the difference in ranking is so significant as to forego a much better financial package for. It’s true that Midd is especially known for languages. If that is your primary area of focus, then it may be worth paying more for Middlebury. If foreign language is a secondary consideration, though, it may be that the course offerings and study-abroad options at Colby would be ample for your needs - look into your particular interests and see. What are you hoping to major in? The named scholarship and research stipend could end up enhancing your resume more than the ranking difference between two T20 LAC’s.
