We asked Joe...
What are the academics like at your school?
My brain hurts from Middlebury. I learned so much in and out of class, it's fantastic. The Professors change your life. Period. Yes, they know your name. You are paying 45,000 a year, what do you expect. They know your name by the second class. This school is no joke. Students always raising the bar with each other outside of class. Every class the conversation spills into lunch or dinner, or all night long.
As a recent introduction to the American workforce, I can say that Middlebury does not give you the skills for day one, but rather, it gives you the skills to own the place on day two. No, I didn't knwo all the techinical hombo jumbo that is industry specific. But I have the analytical skills so that when somebody says something once, I can figure it out from there.
