[quote=Anonymous]Carleton is a more intellectual place and generally involves more class work in comparison to Mac.  I think of Carelton as being University of Chicago light.  Also, Carleton is on the trimester (also called quarter at other schools), so students are taking 3 classes 3 times a year (so nine-classes annually) versus 4 classes twice a year (8 classes annually on average on the semester system).  Carleton has one of the strongest computer science departments in liberal arts colleges, and has one of the highest rates of women graduating with science majors in country.

Mac. has done very well in the last few years and is aided by being in city like Minneapolis that has been booming.  I think of Mac students as being more practical and pre-professional because the location allows students to intern at various local business and organizations.  Also, the Mac students appear to be more diverse and reflect changing Minneapolis demographics, and there are strong international studies programs.  Mac is known to give merit scholarships to strong students so that the cost of attending would be comparable to attending a state school.    [/quote]
