Review of Carleton College

from Haslet, TX

Describe your college in three sentences.

If you are looking for an exemplary education, a strong sense of belonging, and an amazing experience, go straight to Carleton. You have found the perfect college.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Prepare yourself by obtaining the best education available to you in high school. Carleton is a step above the rest, but being a student here made the effort worth it!

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

I am a Chemistry major, so the courses I take are challenging. That being said, the classes are typically less than 10 students, and professors as well as tutors are always available for assistance.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

There is an amazingly broad demographic in regards to the student enrolled at Carleton. No matter what you are interested in, everyone here is accepting and the environment couldn't be more relaxed.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The dining hall reminds me of the dinning on a cruise. Different stations within the hall, all providing different daily menus. Everything is available, from vegetarian to Chinese.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

Absolutely anything you can think of is available on campus. If for some reason you can not find what you are looking for, make a suggestion and have your interest brought forth. Carleton's diversity extends to every realm.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

The tuition, 60,000 for 2014-15, is a bit steep. But they do provide scholarships and the education is beyond measure.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

The Bald Spot is in the center of the campus. During the winter an ice rink is set up and a ton of winter fun can be had. During the summer there are more activities available than I have time to list.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Everyone here is a free thinker. This is the perfect environment for a student that wants the best education available, a very small community, a caring administration, a safe atmosphere to live, and the opportunity to grow into the adult you want to be.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Everything under the sun.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

None, and we like it that way!

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

We all feel safe here, we watch each other and take care of each other.
