[quote=Anonymous]Ole grad myself. Had a highschool friend go to Carleton from my year and she went off the deep end. They have a wet campus policy of sorts and a significant drug scene. Pair this with the whacky trimester calendar system with, a huge aimless break between thanksgiving and January, and seasonal depression and you have a recipe for issues. The academic rigor also comes from things like an additional writing portfolio everyone has to do just for the sake of it.

St. Olaf has a dry campus policy on paper, students still do what they do but when there are issues there are consequences which kept people from getting stuck too far into the deep end. For example I worked for residential life and one evening there was a drunk student on the roof. He got mad about being caught and broke a bunch of mirrors. He got kicked out within the week and put into a treatment program instead of languishing at the school burning out. If that had happened at Carleton there is no way the student would have received treatment in a timely matter.

Carlton's ranking is higher sure but depending on your student you may want to consider the culture of the campus.[/quote]
