My kid would echo arcadia almost word for word. Only difference is he is now closing out that Jr year and never went abroad. And he’s fine! His thinking while making a decision to go to Midd was he had his entire life to live in the city. Honestly, I am kind of surprised how well he has taken to all the outdoor excursions and adventures since my idea of any kind of camping is a hotel without room service. As a family we only camped umm… never. But I also agree with Mythmom… know thyself. Our D wanted more urban a much bigger school. Truthfully, I think the personalities of Johns hopkins and Midd are so completely different that the location of one is probably a lot further down on the list.

But to stick to the point: While I think the village of Middlebury is actually quite broad in its diversions for a small town, it’s certainly not Baltimore. S has been to hang out with friends in NYC, DC and Boston and he’s gone to Montreal about twice a year. He seems to get plenty of fill of the big city. And truly, four years is nothing is a span of a life. I think he’s going to miss it there a great deal.
