Student Life
Belonging, independence, and joy in daily practice
Living together is a central part of how students grow at Midland.

Intentional technology policies, student leadership roles, and close mentorship support independence, empathy, and healthy decision-making. Faculty and staff are deeply present in the residential experience, ensuring students feel known, supported, and challenged. The result is a balanced community that builds confidence, resilience, and maturity for college and life beyond.
College & Life Beyond Midland
Universities love when our students apply
When Midland students show up in college classrooms, they stand out. Our graduates know how to think for themselves, write with clarity, take responsibility, and stay engaged when learning gets challenging. Midlanders go on to colleges such as Middlebury College and University of California, Berkeley, and into paths that span science, engineering, design, food systems, education, and the arts. After college, alumni continue to build meaningful, self-directed professions that range from Forbes 30 Under 30–recognized careers to meaningful, grounded work in communities at home and abroad. We are proud not only of where our students go, but of who they become: capable, curious adults with the confidence to create lives that feel purposeful and fully their own.
