What is Middlebury REALLY like?

Missed that humor! Too subtle at an early hour.

The only thing I would ask you about on your post is the comment on LAC study abroad programs — was that one intended as humor, too? Most LACs have “island” programs, staffed by faculty from the home LAC so it is like a semester at home in a different location— programs where students hang out more with English speakers (that is, on programs outside the English-speaking world) and don’t engage or learn the langauge and culture. Not many LACs have the kind of immersion, direct enroll programs Middlebury does. If they do, please along which ones they are (unless the comment was indeed not intended to be serious).

But humor is good, so thank you.
