What is your favorite study spot on campus?

My favorite study spot on campus is the Q-Center in Bi Hall. I enjoy studying in a quiet room with a whiteboard where I can write short notes and ideas to help me remember things. I also like that I can walk around while studying, which helps me stay focused and think more clearly.

How would you describe the Middlebury experience?

I have had a wonderful experience at Middlebury. One of the things I appreciate most is the small, interconnected, caring, and welcoming community. People are supportive, and it is easy to build meaningful relationships with classmates, professors, and staff. The campus environment is also beautiful throughout the year, from the green mountains and landscapes during the summer to the snow and winter activities during the colder months. Overall, Middlebury is a place where you can always find something fun to do and a lively community to be part of.
