A liberal arts college founded in 1800 and located in Middlebury, Vermont. Like the other 10 NESCACs, it is a great place to get an education. The college is especially renowned for its language, environmental studies and international studies programs, though psychology and economics are among its most popular majors.
The school has a new library, a giant science hall built in 1999 and expansive arts and athletics facilities among other buildings on campus. The White Mountains border the campus to the west, and the Green Mountains (where the college's alpine and cross-country skiing facilities are located) to the east. The town of Middlebury has around 9,000 inhabitants and lots of small shops.
Students arrive here with a diverse array of achievements, but they recognize that every Midd Kid around them is pretty darn smart as well, and thus are not pretentious or boastful in general. When not studying, they enjoy both drinking and playing in the snow. Skiing is a popular activity.
Middlebury isn’t perfect, of course. Racism and anti-homosexual sentiments do exist among some. Still, those who attend this college should be thankful for the wonderful people, facilities and resources around them.
Instead of listening to arguments among students as to which liberal arts school is "Number one," high school seniors should research their options to decide which school is #1 for them. About half of the class of 2013 applied early decision; apparently, they did just that.

"Tom, I hear you applied somewhere early decision. Did you know that Middlebury is one of the top colleges in the country? I know this because I read U.S. News."
"That's cool, Mr. Plummer, but so is Williams, which I chose because of its awesome tutorial programs and the number of Rhodes Scholars it has graduated."
"Sounds like you've done your research, Tom!"
"You go to Middlebury College? That school isn't even in the top 10 of the U.S. News rankings!"
"Way to use outdated statistics. Anyway, considering that I'm a language major who loves to ski, attending a school with a famous language program and its own ski hill seemed like a pretty good choice."
"Wait, you mean college rankings have changed in the last five years?"

Middlebrook is a large concentration of pale and frail kids; however, there are not just white kids. There are many Asians that live in Middlebrook as well. Most of the people that live in Middlebrook probably couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag, but most can probably do calculus or something else that's hard in circles around a lot of the University of Minnesota's students living in other res halls. There are many Honors kids, because it is the honors dorm; as well as acting students who probably could not kick the shit out of most people, but could verbally abuse even a professor. It most definitely is a strange place, not what you would expect out of a typical dorm in a place of Higher Education.
So the acting students were giving shit to the honors kids and calling them wimps so the honors kids built a catapult device that chucked water balloons at the actors while they were walking back to Middlebrook. (True story unfortunately...)

Get the Middlesbrough mug.A small Amish community in the north central part of Indiana. It is famous for the Das Ditchman Essenhause Amish style Resturant. This city is prone to the migration of elderly from all over the country during the warmer months of the year. The amish themselves are quite a tourist attraction with their keen skills in farming, woodworking, and quilt making in which all of these services are overpriced. it is the home to Northridge highschool where the only thing it is known for is having the largest freshman class than the year before it and the cross country team. when traveling through this one street city it only takes a matter of seconds to be in and out so it is basically the whore of northern indiana.
Also this city is notorious for its rebel redneck fan base, though the state was a part of the union many of the residents of Middlebury fly the confederate flag screaming Git "R" done out the windows of their piickups while going to the County Fair to check out the pigs and other farm animals that the convenently also have at home.

Get the Middlebury mug.Started out as a very small and simple town with a couple homes. Mainly forest and dirt roads. Over time the roads were paved, the trees cut down and houses, complexes, stores etc., were built. There still remains some country roads to ride around on, and some woods to wander around in. Also considered a hicktown.

Get the Middleburg mug.Phenomenon in which Middlebrook residents at the University of Minnesota are slept on, but are often more attractive than the rest of campus. This excludes any member of the Art LLC. These folks are also less likely to have STDs due to their isolation from the cesspool of Super Block. Again, excluding Art LLC.
