Middlebury College is among the “Little Ivies” and among the oldest colleges in the country. It was established in 1800, just 39 after the town of Middlebury itself. A top liberal arts school, Middlebury distinguishes itself in many ways, for example it was the first American institution of higher education to grant a bachelor's degree to an African-American; Middlebury Language Schools offer instruction in 10 languages; Middlebury’s Bread Loaf Writer Conference is the oldest in the country.
As a resident, I find Middlebury’s greatest appeal in the arts. From the museum to concerts, plays, dances, art exhibits, there’s always something interesting to do.
