Macalester offers a unique and highly intensified education - you'll definitely learn a lot here.
Will enjoy being here
You must be motivated to go here - I would reccommend visiting the campus and eating lunch with a current student before deciding whether to go here or not.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Macalester degrees are known worldwide - but that doesn't mean that you're going to get a job right out of college. If you're planning on going to graduate school, this is a good choice for you. If you just want a four-year degree to increase your potential salary and benefits...go someplace else.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Make sure to look at schools in the area! If Macalester isn't for you, there are dozens of great, small schools in the Twin cities area that might just work.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Highly motivated, focused, driven, overachievers - who need to attend a school with need-based aid.
