The student population at Williams is not the most humble. Most professors “jump at every opportunity to help you love their subject.” “They’re here because they want to interact with undergrads.” “If you complain about a Williams education then you would complain about education anywhere,” wagers an economics major Despite the occasional professor “who should not even be teaching at the high school level,” the faculty at Williams is one of the best. A one-month January term offers study-abroad programs and a host of short pass/fail courses that are “a college student’s dream come true.” “The hard science departments are incredible.” Economics, art history, and English are equally outstanding. “Williams students tend to spend a lot of time complaining about how much work they have” but they say the academic experience is “absolutely incomparable.” Classes are “small” and “intense.” “The facilities are absolutely top-notch in almost everything.” Research opportunities are plentiful. Absolute, “full-ride” assistance with no loans is available to any student who needs it. Williams College is a small bastion of the liberal arts “with a fantastic academic reputation.” Administrators sometimes “ignore student consensus in their misguided efforts to improve campus life,” but they are “incredibly compassionate and accessible” and red tape is virtually unheard of. Everything from classy music concerts to late-night movies and dance parties can be found as a Midd-supported activity. It’s the ideal college town because of its rural setting, in that there are no real distractions other than those that are provided within the college campus.” Of course, the small-town setting also means that “the only real off-campus activity is going out to eat at the town’s quaint restaurants or going to the one bar in town,” but fortunately 'when it comes to on-campus activities, Middlebury provides the student population with tons of great events. People are enthusiastic about being active and having fun.” Because the school “is set in a very small town, there aren’t too many (if any) problems with violence, drugs, crime.

This can translate into anything from varsity sports to intramural hockey (an extremely popular winter pastime!). There is a club for just about everything you can imagine, and if you can imagine one that hasn’t yet been created, you go ahead and create it yourself.” With great skiing and outdoor activity close by, “Almost everyone is athletic in some way. This high level of involvement in everything translates into an amazing campus atmosphere at Middlebury, where “most people are very involved. We’re all too damn friendly and cheerful for our own good.” One student notes, “Other than a few groups, everyone mingles pretty well. The two most prominent demographics are “very preppy students (popped collars)” and “extreme hippies.” One undergrad explains: “The typical students are one of two types: either ‘Polo, Nantucket red, pearls, and summers on the Cape,’ or ‘Birks, wool socks, granola, and suspicious smells about them.’ A lot of people break these two molds, but they often fall somewhere on the spectrum between them.” There’s also “a huge international student population, which is awesome,” but some international students, “tend to separate out and end up living in language houses.” There’s also “a really strong theater/artsy community” here. The typical student is athletic, outdoorsy, and very intelligent. Home to “smart people who enjoy Aristotelian ethics and quantum physics, but aren’t too stuck up to go sledding in front of Mead Chapel at midnight,” Middlebury College is a small, exclusive liberal arts school with 'excellent (rest of review is missing)
