Middlebury has the ski slope and a great reputation for languages as well as finance placement, but they've had a lot of financial problems and some of that has impacted the student experience (forced triples etc.) Colby has a ton of money (as does Bowdoin) but it's much more remote. Bates has been a fantastic place for my kid who's there now; they are less of a conveyor belt to finance careers, but there's a strong DC alumni community.
Forced triples was during COVID when Midd’s enrollment surged to almost 2,900. It’s back down to around 2,650 now. No more kids at the Marriott or Bread Loaf.
