Why did you choose to attend Middlebury? When I sit down and think about it, Middlebury had everything I wanted. Small, but not too small, lots of interesting classes, and is located in an incredible environment that has allowed me to explore outside my comfort zone. However, I think the people were really what sealed the deal. I visited Middlebury for Preview Days and was really amazed by how welcoming everyone was even before I was set on going. I went to a sample class and met my best friend who I still live with to this day. It felt like the universe was calling my name. I was a big overthinker in high school, and when I came to Middlebury it was one of the first times I realized I wasn’t overthinking it, it just clicked.
