What is Middlebury REALLY like?

Crewdad: perhaps instead of the snow bowl, which is terrific, I would highlight something academic to contrast the Williams tutorial opporutnities (keeping with Moda’s apples to apples metaphor): how about rising seniors getting the opportunity to study at the College’s Bread Loaf School of English ([Campuses, Courses, and Faculty](http://www.middlebury.edu/academics/blse/campuses/)) for 6 weeks on the mountain campus – with a remarkable faculty from around the US and UK (Paul Muldoon, Robert Steptoe, Jonathan Freedman, Isobel Armstrong, Marjorie Sabin, among others), or the 15-20 rising seniors who get the chance to attend the College’s renowned Bread Loaf Writer’s Conference ([Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference](http://www.middlebury.edu/academics/blwc/)), or how students will soon get the chance to spend a semester, Winter Term, or summer at the College’s Monterey Institute of International Studies to take graduate courses in international areas not offered at Middlebury? These programs, along with the long-established Schools Abroad, now with 33 sites in 12 countries, distinguish Middlebury academically from other LACs and provide rich experiences.
