I’ll be a sophomore at Middlebury in the fall and like you, I absolutely love it. My only (very small and easily solved) issue is that students, myself included, can get into a bit of what we call a “Middlebury bubble,” meaning that we become so involved with what’s happening on campus that we tend to forget about the rest of the world. Personally, I combat this by reading the newspapers that are available in the dining halls, going to CNN online, and watching TV in the lounges or in McCullough. We also have quite a few speakers and events that keep us connected with what’s going on “outside.”
Student body-wise: Most of the student body is Caucasian, but Middlebury’s fairly diverse for a school of its size and location. All fifty states are represented, as are over seventy other countries. International studies, languages, English, economics and biology tend to be the most popular majors. People aren’t very cliquey, but everyone does find their tight group of friends. If you have any more questions, please contact me. I’m a Midd tour guide and I love answering questions! =)
