[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Middeltown is kind of depressing. Weslyan is an amazing school[/quote]

I don't think it's that bad. Or wasn't when I lived in CT.  CT is also the size of a postage stamp--you're about 20 minutes from Essex, which is beautiful and the way people imagine CT.  It's smack in the middle of the state, so not far from anywhere, really.[/quote]

It's kind of an interesting town to experience if you are used to living in affluent dc or affluent suburbs. Very working, rust belt. Large Sicilian population that kinda runs the town with an old school political machine. Sure it's not super cutesy but it is a different kind of place that most well off kids wouldn't experience otherwise. And the downtown does have some charm to it.

I agree that there are tons of great places nearby - beaches, skiing, hiking etc - but you need a car to access most of that.[/quote]

Agree. [b]And it was thus way in the 70's[/b]. I learned that most people didn't share my affluent Boston area upbringing.  PP do you remember steamed cheeseburgers?[/quote]

Wait-- if we're talking to people who were undergrads in the '70s, it's no wonder so many are cool with pot. [/quote]
