[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]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.) [/quote]

Middlebury just broke ground on a new 298-bed freshman dorm that will be ready in spring 2025. They also say that they expect to return to pre-COVID enrollment of around 2,500 students next year.

Don’t you think they said they would fix the enrollment problem last year? And the year before? And the year before that?[/quote]
