Why did you choose to attend Middlebury? Studying languages was one of my passions in high school and after researching Middlebury’s language programs and courses, I knew that I would be able to find the discipline to achieve fluency. I also wanted to connect to other students who have a passion for languages. Beyond languages, I didn’t know what I wanted to study. Middlebury’s flexibility and diversity of classes let me explore before deciding on a major.
