I would go to Midd all over again if I had the choice.
Overall 4.7
Hands down the best university in Vermont for undergraduate education and in the top 3 for all of New England. Strong academics, excellent arts and good sports too! Definitely gives Harvard some stiff competition in a good way! The location is also gorgeous. Graduate education could be improved. Bread loaf campus is run down.
Overall 4.5
The academics here are superb, and the professors are probably my favorite part about Middlebury. They are all engaging, knowledgeable, and more than willing to discuss content outside of class. Truly, I talk to a professor after class virtually every day--they create a wonderful intellectual environment and they're some of my best friends.

The food is fantastic, small class sizes are amazing. I have had such fantastic professors teach me. If you care about the quality of your education. Come to middlebury. Also, the place is breathtaking.

Was interested in their International Trade and Economic Diplomacy program. After a week trying to contact their recruiting office and no one from the faculty picking up their phones, Im no longer interested. The quality of service is worse than my local community college (which only costs $500 a course).
