This author of this op-ed sounds insufferable. We shouldn't have more computer science classes because they're not intellectual enough? Give me a break. That's the beauty of a liberal arts education. You can take classes that will actually get you a job while also familiarizing yourself with Nietzsche and learning about women's studies. Middlebury will be a better place once these "Super Senior Febs" depart.

lol. More like "a" student at Midd is in crisis mode. And maybe a handful of his "Super Senior Feb" friends.

Cs was better at LACs when it was theoretical and mathematical. If you want to learn applied vocational studies, don’t go to a liberal arts colleges. It’s that simple.

They reduced the number of classes needed to graduate from 36 to 34. Hardly "severe." And they did this to give students more flexibility for internships during J-term. And many schools are dealing with an increase in cheating--particularly those with an honor code--mostly due to the use of AI and stresses and autonomy brought about during Covid.

They have increased enrollment “unofficially” — and permanently — by well over 10% the past few years to deal with huge financial losses in study abroad programs and Monterey — all at the expense of the undergrad campus. Their increase in % of class admitted ED (where higher proportion of kids are full pay) has to be seen in this light.

Quit lying; they actually announced that they were moving back to about 2500 now that the covid bulge is over. They are also selling the Inn on the green since it won’t be needed for the overflow.

I have the Brooklyn Bridge for sale. Interested?

Middlebury is having big problems folks. And look, after half a decade of lying about it, year after year (and many of you naively believed their marketing horse sh$$, they have finally announced that they have made the enrollment increase permanent. Surprise, surprise:

Middlebury is far more prestigious. Tufts is ranked around the same as 70k student population New Jersey flagship Rutgers. Middlebury is consistently ranked in the t20 LACs nationally and doesn't even have the Boston metro area location to prop up its demand.

Tufts is very under-ranked. Middlebury is only slightly more prestigious to the powers that be, which you clearly are not. It’s a wash.

You have a problem with Rutgers University ???? Rutgers University is an outstanding National University with incredible resources and serves a wide cross-section of students. Comparing one of the oldest National Universities in the nation to an LAC is ridiculous.

Rutgers University is the 8th oldest "college" in the US founded in 1766. It's ranked #41 out of 436 National Universities by US News. Almost a billion dollars in research expenditures. Very diverse.

Comparing Middlebury College to one of the top research universities in the world is absurd. Middlebury is fine for coddled snow bunnies, has a beautiful location,and is a fine LAC.

You're either an AI, hallucinating something, or illiterate. Did you actually read the post, where Rutgers was compared to ***TUFTS***, NOT MIDDLEBURY?

They are both lovely schools and both pretty much matched in prestige and quality of students.

No one thinks Middlebury is more prestigious than Tufts.

Yes, but I understood the post to which you refer and you do not. Take another hit of whatever you're smoking or drinking and continue on with your fantasy of Middlebury College being superior to Tufts University and to Rutgers University.
