Why did you choose to attend Middlebury? I chose Middlebury because I wanted to experience something different from my typical urban environment. I wanted to get out of my comfort zone, so attending college in rural Vermont was the perfect opportunity. I don’t regret my decision at all, I find peace with the quiet nights, beautiful mountains, and calm nature. It’s nice to escape the bustling city of New York and slow down my pace at Middlebury.

Favorite study spot? Crossroads Cafe

Favorite food in the dining hall? Whatever I can make on the panini press!

Where did you study abroad, or where would you study abroad if you could? I studied abroad in Nottingham, England at the University of Nottingham through an exchange program. 

Favorite Vermont spot? Bristol Falls
