<p>Let’s start with academics. I’d say, that all things being equal, your chances of getting into graduate school would be the same. I think Wesleyan probably has a stronger program in Government and Economics, but, that’s because they’re probably slightly larger and because I seldom hear of anyone mentioning anything other than language programs or sometimes Environmentalism, when discussing Middlebury.</p>
<p>Middlebury’s campus is probably more idyllic. It reminds me of Disneyland:<a href=“http://www.kugelmeier.de/home/disneyweb/disneyland_Park021.jpg[/url]”>http://www.kugelmeier.de/home/disneyweb/disneyland_Park021.jpg</a>

<p>Wesleyan is more like, if you took Amherst:

And, mashed it up with Columbia:

<p>Of course, the other thing you have to worry about is weather. At the moment, Middlebury, Vermont is about 10 degrees colder than Middletown, Connecticut.</p>
