[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks to all from OP. Lots to digest, most positive!

We do have Michigan and Wisconsin on the consideration list (and agree that MN is not a quick jaunt from Chicago - one thought is to stop in Madison to break the drive and see the Uni - regardless it is still much closer than a separate visit from DC!). DS seems to prefer the idea of smaller colleges but he is keeping an open mind, he is just starting to think about all of this.

Thanks again. [/quote]

Both are excellent schools, and without knowing much about your son’s interests, sound like a good fit for his personality. Each school has a different ‘feel’ - Mac is a little more mainstream, Carleton is very elite (not elitist, though), and St Olaf is filled with nice (often musical), friendly people.

I live in Chicago and went to college in the general region, and I would also say add St Olaf, Lawrence, and Beloit. The latter two might be safeties but those are good to have anyway and both schools are definitely in the same mold. If you’re driving from Chicago to Minneapolis via Madison, Beloit is literally on the way; Lawrence isn’t but I don’t think it would be a terrible detour… maybe a few hours in total. [/quote]
