[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Then why is Middlebury dropping way down probably more than any other LAC. Is it location, poor management, or as others have suggested cyclical.

Fantastic school and big fan of the SLACs, but I think Middlebury may suffer from the widest athlete / non-athlete divide of all SLACs.  Meaning if you are a non-athlete I’ve heard it’s tough to find your peeps.  Whereas a liberal bastion like Wes readily celebrates the Doonesbury Zonker and poser NYC chic vibes (and sports are more of a counter culture despite sizable number of participants), a school like Middlebury may possibly struggle to find anything a non-athlete can readily identify with in terms of community [/quote]

What is your reasoning for this. Athletes spend more time with their teams than with others but that is true anywhere. The kids that I know there have all friends group that span athlete and non-athlete. And, if such a divide existed which I doubt Middlebury is one of the larger SLACs and non-athletes have a much larger pool than most schools. There are more non-athletes at Middlebury than students at some of the other schools.[/quote]
