[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Middlebury wins for location, but there's not much difference otherwise.[/quote] Okay, but the location win is a LANDSLIDE.[/quote]

Not sure I necessarily agree that location difference is a landslide. Downtown Clinton and the surrounding neighborhoods are absolutely lovely. Campus is walking distance to some really cool coffee shops, restaurants (both fine dining and casual), ice cream, cute shops, Hannaford and CVS. Both campuses are stunning. Our son was admitted to both Middlebury and Hamilton, but chose Hamilton for its economics program and pipeline to investment banking opportunities on Wall Street.[/quote]

can you say more about H's pipeline to i banking? Where do you find info about this? I looked online and didn't see any indication of this.[/quote]

I am an alum. Historically, Hamilton was known for its economics program. Many of my class mates went to work on Wall Street after graduation and still work there.

From what I have read here, Middle out has more of an inside track to IB. However it is bigger than Hamilton. Friends who have kids at Hamilton feel that the school could do a better job of solidifying connections on Wall Street because it is losing ground to other schools like Middlebury.  That said many students have no interest in finance and want to pursue other fields. I have classmates who are geologists, doctors, lawyers, independent school administrators, authors, and many other careers. I sense that Hamilton has more of a diversity of career paths and is not as focused on investment banking. (This could be wrong.)[/quote]
