August 22, 2008 in Uncategorized | No comments

Middlebury College remains at number 5 in this year’s U.S. News & World Report rankings of national liberal arts colleges. Amherst and Williams shared the top spot, with Swarthmore third and Wellesley fourth. The same 10 schools make up this year’s top 10, with the only changes being Amherst’s move from second into a first-place tie, Carleton dropping from a fifth-place tie with Middlebury to eighth place for 2009, and Bowdoin and Pomona going from a tie for seventh last year to a sixth-place tie this year.
