What makes Carleton strong is that it teaches its students how to learn. To get the best out of Carleton (or get in), you need to be excited about learning.

Despite lacking in providing social activites outside athletics...carleton, through being self-selective, brings together the friendliest, diligent, & resourceful group of students you could ever find @ a lib arts college..dorm life is quaint, the 3 10-week term curriculum keeps students grounded in their pursuits...if the small campus design doesn't appeal to you, nor the idea of taking a major test ever 5 weeks, and if the farming community-type setting and the bitter winter cold sound discouraging, then carleton may not be the best place for you...
Perceived Campus Safety: A+, Social Life: B

Aa a rising senior, the best advice that I can give is to visit the campuses of colleges to which you are applying. I got in to many east coast schools, but found that I would not be able to learn in such a superficially competetive atmosphere.
