These are old posts, so I don’t know if any of you will see something current. But if so, your advice would be greatly appreciated. My son is in the process of deciding between these two schools. He has grown up in a tiny suburban town (and attended a very small high school on a beautiful, storybook-like campus). On one hand, he knows he has thrived at a small school away from a city. Middlebury is a larger rendition of his high school (but with exceptional academics). He was nervous about even looking at JHU, but then was pleasantly surprised. Part of him still envisions a scenic, countryside campus tucked away in the snow (he doesn’t mind cold weather and loves sports). But JHU wasquite welcoming when he visited - as well as very stimulating. He’s a kid who likes to be challenged. Any thoughts?
