[quote=Anonymous]Surprised nobody has mentioned over-enrollment problems at Conn College and, especially, Middlebury.

Conn College is trying to house kids in New London and I think foregoing the requirement that seniors live on campus. Conn College, until very recently, would guarantee a single to kids after freshmen year. I doubt they do any longer…

Middlebury has several years in a row of over-enrollment. They are actually paying kids outright now to take a semester off (in real cash, not a merit aid discount or anything.) It is blaming this fiasco on COVID uncertainties. This blame game might (or might not) be justified for a single year. But when you are talking 3 years in a row, it is nothing but gross incompetence and/or intentional disdain for the quality of the student experience. (70%+ of the class was just admitted ED; they don’t have the “yield miscalculation” excuse to fall back on.)

No idea about Colby on this matter; it might have issues too of which I am unaware. [/quote]
