[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]agree with earlier poster that this is a real problem at smaller nescacs like Williams and middlebury - get ready for cold lonely winters there if ur not an athlete.  Less of an issue at the larger schools like Tufts and Wes.  Athletics is almost a counter culture at Wes, the jocks are basically seen as caricatures[/quote]

Middlebury currently has 2,800 students. Just under 800 students participate on sports teams. That leaves 2,000+ non-athletes. Hardly lonely. [/quote]

meh - the student body is extremely fragmented, cliquey and divisive at Middlebury - probably the worst in the nescac and I’m speaking from experience- if ur a male and don’t play sports.. hard pass[/quote]

Ha. As a male who went to Middlebury and never got close to a field of any sort (except to watch a few football games), I patently disagree. But I guess everyone has their own lived experience. [/quote]

+1  A good friend's son recently graduated from Middlebury and he was one of the least sporty people I know and he loved it.[/quote]

Middlebury is insanely woke. Ask Charles Murray, who barely escaped with his life after being physically assaulted by a large group of students for the crime of trying to give a speech on campus as a libertarian/conservative.[/quote]

Protesting students were disciplined for their behavior at that event in 2017.  The masked people who pushed him and incited violence were not determined to be students.  He was protested not primarily for being a libertarian, but for being the author of a book that argues there are biological differences in intelligence based on races.  Having protestors get out of hand is not evidence of a whole school being "insanely woke" but rather reprehensible behavior by those individuals. [/quote]
