Middlebury College (reviews)

Great for people who like outdoor experience and who seek a broad knowledge base rather than deep and specific. Yet, there are many opportunities available for those who want to change from broad to specific in the form of study abroad, exchange programs, dual degree programs and so on. I would say it is one of the best choices for people who are considering a degree in languages and social sciences.

Middlebury College was a great fit for me because I am interested in both languages and environmental science. Middlebury not only offers a wide variety of courses in these areas, but is also committed to reduce it’s environmental footprint. Professors are very helpful and there is not a competitive atmosphere in terms of grades. It is a very progressive campus with a decent amount of international students. The only drawback so far is that it can get pretty cold in the winter.

Academics here are rigors. small classes and good relationship with professors. It is a small university in a small town. If you don’t like cities, this is the place for you. Faculty and staff are very friendly and helpful. If you are looking for a diverse. place, Middlebury is not the place for you.

Classes – Middlebury College is a small liberal arts school with many opportunities. The classes are small, my smallest class has 4 students and the biggest class has 20 students). The professor usually know the names of students, and they encourage us to come by during office hours.____Location – Middlebury is a small town, and there is not a great connection to bigger cities. Sometimes it can be hard to leave the campus, since there is not much near by the campus. For outdoors people, Middlebury is a beautiful place to hike/camp and do other sports outdoors. ____Diversity – Middlebury is trying to be a school with more diversity, and every year they seem to enroll more students from diverse background. There are definitely a lot of international students, which makes the school more diverse as well. ______________

I love the campus, the environment and the people. It’s a beautiful place to live in but it’s really cold and can be challenging at times. I Believe that the college needs to improve its student body regarding the huge income gap between students and make activities such as skiiing more available to middle class students.
