[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is there, first choice, she applied ED and got in, initially was supposed to play sport there but in the end injury prevented participation, however would have chosen school even without being recruited as an athlete. Was a NMSF and competitive for top Ivys but always wanted Middlebury because wanted small but not too small (too small were Haverford, Amherst even despite 5 college system), not too preppy-conservative (Williams) but not too crunchy-druggy (Wesleyan), beautiful and near outdoor activities/hiking but not too isolated (Williams).  In the end other schools she strongly considered were Bowdoin and Pomona.  She loves it, lots of smart students and challenging classes, really likes the very large and diverse international student presence, and the spectrum of backgrounds and political views (surprisingly so).  Campus is gorgeous, outdoor activities unsurpassed, and she likes Burlington as a small nearby city with good music scene (but having a car is a big plus for getting to Burlington or further cities to see friends and do city-type stuff, Boston is less than 4 hours, NYC about 4 hours).  Likes lack of Greek system. Food is really good.  She is focused on languages/international affairs, and that is clearly a strength of the school, but she has friends who are premed and also very happy

Very helpful. What size was her high school? My DC is also being recruited but decided not to apply ED (might still do ED2). Size is the biggest concern coming from a big high school.  [/quote]
