Middlebury College February Class of 2013.5 Orientation Web Site
Welcome to the Feb Web! Later this fall you will find loads of information about what's in store for you during Feb Orientation and beyond. Eventually, most of what you receive by mail will also appear here. In addition, we will post here many of the "nuts and bolts" regarding your arrival at Middlebury, what to expect during orientation, and general information about student life on campus. As you look around, you will find links that take you to different key points that constitute this larger bundle of information. I encourage you to read through this material at your leisure--you can browse around or read it all in order. Should you have any questions, feel free to call us at 802-443-3103 or send an e-mail to orientation@middlebury.edu
All the best,
Katy Smith Abbott
Department of the History of Art,
Associate Dean of the College

The Commons is the way Middlebury structures campus life and it is our central organizing principle. It is a unique living-learning system, weaving the academic, social, and residential components of college life into an integrated community experience. Through the Commons, students enjoy the freedom to govern their own intellectual, cultural, and social development within a structure of support from faculty, staff, and returning students.
