We asked Joe...
What is your overall opinion of this school?
The Middlebury community is the best thing about the school.
I would abolish Palana house. It is a bad idea. Why don't Latino and African American students live in other dorms? Why must we house them in a special place so nobody integrates? This problem is perpetuated by both whites and blacks at our school...
Our school is just right in size.
Anybody worth talking to knows what Middlebury is.
I spend most of my time on campus in my dorm room, in other friend's rooms or at the library.
Middlebury has a great college town, free of commercialism, and everyone says hi.
I think the Administration works well. However, there is a sense that every person that works at Midd has one job with a set of rules and regulations and deadlines. They look for any and all instances to enforce their little rules in their little corner of the social strata.
I think that the homophobic slurs written on walls were pretty big. But Nick Garza who disappeared is definitely number one.
Yes, People love Middlebury.
The fact that all Middlebury alums, students and faculty help each other is incredibly freakish. We don't need frats at Middlebury, the school is one giant fraternity.
I'll remember sledding down the hill by Old Chapel when it snowed two feet, and having my mind blown by a physics class and then having a two hour lunch with the most amazing people in the world.
Students complain about the weather constantly. But hey, it's new england.
