About

Nestled in Vermont’s Champlain Valley, Middlebury College is a premier liberal arts institution renowned for its world-class international studies, prestigious global language programs, and pioneering environmental studies department. The student experience is deeply tied to the surrounding landscape, fostering an active, environmentally conscious community where undergraduates frequently balance rigorous academics with skiing at the college-owned Middlebury Snow Bowl. A highly distinctive feature of the college is its "Feb" program, which admits a portion of the incoming class in February and culminates in a legendary winter graduation tradition where seniors ski down the mountain in their caps and gowns.


Wikipedia:Middlebury College is a private liberal arts college in Middlebury, Vermont, United States. Founded in 1800 by Congregationalists, Middlebury was the first operating college or university in Vermont.
