Middlebury College

Middlebury is a pretty rotten school. As other reviwers have mentioned, the students are arrogant, snooty, close-minded and ultra-racist. If you are a minority, do not bother coming here, seriously. The school advocates institutional diversity and even has a PALANA (Pan African Latino Native-American) house and organization, but don't be fooled. I have met many minorities here who feel isolated and constantly under attack. The worse part is, there is no outreach at all. The racists win. So don't come here if you are a minority, or even white middle class, because although the education is adequate (albeit superficial and not very challenging), the atmosphere is far too hostile and isolating.

3rd Year Male -- Class 2005

In a nutshell, the people here are like the winters: cold and irritating. This school is very pretentious and the chicks are not hot at all. If you go to Williams, you'll thank me.

I chose Middebury College out of 12 top Liberal Arts Colleges. I thought that I would major in romance languages since Middlebury is well-known around the world for its language program. First of all, that was a mistake because the college brings in all the great professors during the summer session. The average language session is as good as any school's. The liberal arts curriculum is adequate mosly because of the small class sizes and professor accessibility.

As an African-American female, I must say that I have never encountered so much classism, racism, and sexism in the world! The students who come here are close-minded, WASPY upper class snobs from gated communities. Comments like "nouveu riche" and "nigger" are a part of my daily routine. There are even "exclusive parties" where many students of a certain ethnicity were turned away at the door. The gay pride "closet" has been torn down year after year. Students write racist remarks on cultural diversity boards. If it weren't for my strong spirit and determination to succeed,I would have left this school after the first semester. Infantile would be a compliment to these J. Crew ski freaks whose idea of a good time is getting drunk in a stuffy dorm room.

A warning to open-minded, mature, intellectually stimulated and diverse people: AVOID THIS SCHOOL LIKE THE PLAGUE!
