Why did you choose to attend Middlebury? I am interested in exploring different academic paths while still pursuing a degree in Engineering. Middlebury has programs with Columbia and Dartmouth that allow students to graduate with a B.A. from Middlebury and a B.E. or B.S. I intend to apply for one of these programs! I also chose Middlebury for the small class sizes, highly knowledgeable professors, emphasized undergraduate research, hands-on learning opportunities, and vast alumni network. Overall, Middlebury offers a well-rounded education, combining academic rigor, research opportunities, and a supportive community, making it an ideal choice for students like me.

Favorite study spot? BiHall Greenhouse, Crossroads Cafe, or Starr Library in Axinn.  

Favorite food in the dining hall? Bagels 

Where did you study abroad, or where would you study abroad if you could? I’d like to study abroad in Egypt or the Netherlands.

One fun fact about you or unknown talent you have: I love to play squash.
