Take the most challenging classes you can while becoming engaged in your community and volunteer activities. Still try and remain unique. Its hard to describe the ideal Carleton student, because they all have different interests, but all seem to share the same type of passoin.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Carleton appears to be very academically rigorous. The school uses a trimester system instead of semesters, so while you take fewer classes each trimester, you take more classes each year. You are also taking 18 week classes in about 10 weeks, so the classes are more intense.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The dorms weren't fancy, but they didn't appear to be horrible. My aunt attended this school decades ago, and apart from being updated with Wifi, etc., the dorms haven't changed much. None of them pose an extremely long walk to classes, all of them are keycard entry, and some of them have very nice views.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
I had a scone from the little coffee shop on campus, and the staff there was VERY friendly and polite. We had a very nice conversation, and the food was good. Compared with how the food USED to be years ago when she attended, my aunt says the food there now is MUCH better, although its still not five class dining.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Northfield seems to pride itself on its small town atmosphere, even though there's more than twenty thousand people. The nearest large town I live by only has around 13,000, but Northfield felt even smaller than that.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
None on campus
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
On my tour of campus, I felt very safe. There are roads that go through campus, but they were controlled and there were many walk ways to get around.
