The Middlebury of today is far from elite and pretentious. Sure there are a few kids here and there who might be pretentious but 98% of the population is friendly and fun to be around. 30 years ago almost all students at top northeast schools were ultra wealthy and often elitist. That is not the case, with nearly half of students on financial aid today. That’s great in itself, but I consider it even cooler that it is pretty much impossible to tell who is on aid and who isn’t. Nobody cares.
