[quote=Anonymous]There is a lot of quiet drinking on campus but, as a PP said, unless students are 21 they are not allowed to drink anywhere in the US. In my experience, once St Olaf students are old enough to legally drink, the drinking has moved to the residential houses and the admin sort of looks the other way.

It is a decent school. I thought the student body was largely pretty serious but were not cutthroat. Career options have increased - when I graduated most on campus recruiting was geared towards the Twin Cities. Most people I know did not go into the workforce right away - med school, law, scholarships and fellowships overseas, teaching in Asia, etc., were more typical. If you wanted to go right to Wall Street or consulting it was not the right place. It has gotten better on that account but Carleton is still the safer bet.

It is a fine choice for State Dept. College doesn't really factor into the FS exam and probably doesn't have big impact on civil service hiring either. St Olaf offers strong academics, a stress on good writing and a pretty civil atmosphere so it is probably good prep for State.
