[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid had the stats for Carleton, Grinnell, and Macalester. I told her if she got into all three I wouldn't pay for Macalester because it made no sense to pay the same money for a school that's clearly not as good as the other two. So she didn't even apply. In the end she got into the other two, and chose Grinnell both because she liked the vibe better than Carleton and because she gave her significant merit money. A very smart decision.[/quote] My mom went to Grinnell and loved it, and I’ve visited Carleton and it’s bucolic. But OP’s kid doesn’t want to be in the middle of nowhere, so Macalester is a better fit in terms of location. It’s a five minute drive from my house, and has a nice sized campus in a semi-urban but easygoing setting. I went to the U and Harvard, and probably would have pulled my hair out in Iowa, and Northfield for that matter. Top notch SLACs, but other factors can really affect the experience. [/quote]
