Moving from big city to Middlebury?

So, I’ve been accepted to Middlebury, which is in many ways a dream come true. I love the academics, the people, and the community; however, I’m from Baltimore, and am very much a city-kind-of-girl. I’ve also been accepted to Johns Hopkins, in the heart of Baltimore, and I’m kind of stuck between the two. If I go to Middlebury, I worry I’ll miss all the advantages of being in the city, and won’t be able to handle the rural environment–so my question is, how does the college of Middlebury match up? I can’t really tell if there’s much of a music scene, and that’s a big thing for me. Coming from Baltimore, I’m used to a thriving music scene. What do current Middlebury students think? Especially if you’ve come from a big city too.
