Student Life

Studying abroad isn’t just about academics. It is equally as important to make time to engage with your host communities.

The Middlebury School in Chile encourages students to go beyond the traditional study abroad path and explore the many ways they can enrich their experience.

The suggestions on these pages are based primarily on recommendations that we’ve received from former students. These lists are by no means exhaustive; rather, they are meant merely as a starting point for exploring all of the ways you can get involved in Chile!
