What is your favorite food in the dining hall?

My favorite food in the dining hall are the tacos they serve in Ross on Taco Tuesdays! They always have ton of guacamole and queso, and lots of other Mexican dishes. This food really brings me back home to Texas and reminds me of some of my favorite Tex-Mex restaurants back home.

Any tips for incoming students to help them make the most out of their Middlebury experience?

My advice would be to try everything and say yes to everything (within reason of course). I have met so many amazing people and had life changing experiences just because I’ve said yes to things I normally wouldn’t. Don’t be afraid to take risks, step out of your comfort zone, and just do the random little things that make college college. You will never get these kinds of opportunities again, so make the most of it and don’t let fear hold you back!
