Why did you choose to attend Middlebury? I wanted to go somewhere completely different from my hometown that would challenge me for 4 years while providing the necessary support to help me meet those challenges. During the admissions process, I spontaneously met numerous Middlebury grads in my normal life that only had amazing things to say about their experiences. In the end, the overwhelming fondness these alumni shared for the 4 years they spent here solidified my decision.
