Current Midd Student (Senior) here!

1. Absolutely not. There is a minor divide between athletes and non-athletes freshman year, but its basically gone by your junior year as you expand your friend group.

2. The atmosphere is definitely not cut-throat. I’ve generally found that there’s a big taboo around talking about grades, but people love to talk about what projects and papers they’re writing and particularly their theses and independent studies. There is a lot of lifting up of others and celebrating achievements. Also, basically every professor I have ever had strongly encourages working together on homework.

3. Mountain Club is the most popular club on campus, but there is a club for everything and they all have a dedicated members. you’ll be able to find what you’re interested in.

4. Hike, ski, bike, party go to burlington, attend concerts, events and plays on campus, take part in workshops, do homework, get medical certifications, work in town or for the college, drive to Boston… the list goes on. Last Saturday I swung by two small parties, one that was cereal themed and one that was “ski and surf” themed. Then my boyfriend and I drove across the bridge into new york (20 minutes away) and bought milkshakes.
