Thanks again for all the valuable insights. After much consideration, S24 will Go Blue. It came down to social opportunities. He has an unusually strong network of friends from all over the world. He works hard to keep these connections strong. The fact that he was perusing the Middlebury website and happened to see one of his friends is currently attending Midd underscores the breadth of his friendship circles. S24 had a long talk with his friend at Midd and while it sounded amazing, S24 realized he wants to attend a school where the possibilities of meeting new people are virtually endless. It’s the reason why he wants to study IR and why he thrived during his many diplomacy and cultural exchange programs in high school. UMich, with its enthusiastic and vast alumni network, is perfect for a kid who loves to meet people everywhere he goes.
