[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If Wesleyan was on metro north, it would be much more highly desired.

Seriously, even bridgeport would be better than being in middletown.

Ideally wesleyan would be in norwalk or stamford. [/quote]

Agree that if Wesleyan had better access to public transport, it would be more people's #1. But disagree about Middeltown being terrible. It really isn't. Have you been? There's a sad strip mall area outside of town that you pass on your way in, but that's not Middletown proper. The town itself has a pleasant downtown and some nice restaurants, all walkable from campus. I think people just drive through the strip mall bit and assume that's all there is. [/quote]

That’s what I have been thinking throughout this thread - all of these people must have driven into town from the west and didn’t check out the rest of the area - the strip mall area on 66 is pretty sad, but downtown Middletown is absolutely fine.

While there’s no train service in town, the closest commuter rail station is only about 15 minutes away.[/quote]

I don’t understand how anyone could visit Wesleyan and not see Main Street? It’s like three blocks from campus; I just assumed everyone stopped there for lunch or a snack after the tour. I was just there visiting my kid, and it’s all decorated for the holidays—so charming.[/quote]
