Vassar alumna here… I wouldn’t say Vassar is artsy necessarily. It’s definitely not a Big-10 football school but it’s definitely a mix of art and science and everything in between. Oh and I make $300K so I’d say there’s possibility of good salary outcomes from Vassar too

I’d choose Vassar. Midd is too isolated

What is typical HHI for Midd?

I think parchment correlates strongly with which school gives more generous aid.

It will depend on how wealthy you are. The wealthier you are, the more likely you are to pick Midd.

But vassar offers grant aid to a higher percentage of students.

It’s junk, not a significant sample size. Totally normal for parchment

Note that the comparison is not in color. Therefore the result is not significant at a reliable confidence level.

I would choose Vassar for its location and student body over Middlebury any day.

I'm surprised by this. I would think Midd would be picked by most given the choice. Not by a super wide margin, but still ...
