He is a low - key, mild - mannered person, but has many sensitive qualities . At most times he is the exact opposite of Cameron which usually causes disagreements . Cameron acts as a counterbalance to Mitchell's uptight, worrying ways . Because of his mild - mannered, uptight nature, he is sometimes embarrassed by Cameron's flamboyance . He is uncomfortable with public displays of affection, as well as invasion of his personal space . He is an overprotective and cautious father . He is shown to be a capable lawyer, even representing an entire building full of people one - by - one with no prior notice . A recurring theme on the show is Mitchell's relationship with his father, which was strained by the revelation of Mitchell's homosexuality . Mitchell is a musical theater fan and enjoyed ice skating as a kid, though he later admitted that he liked working with his sister as a team more than the ice skating itself . Although he fancies himself as a handyman, everybody is afraid of him around tools . From his degrees hanging in his office, it is apparent that Mitchell attended undergrad at Cornell University and law school at Columbia University . </P> <P> TV.com has named Mitchell and Cameron one of the "Five Best TV Dads," saying, "Cam and Mitchell adopted baby Lily from Vietnam way back in Modern Family's pilot episode, and have been inadvertently Americanizing her ever since ." </P>
