[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We toured all three, St. Olaf, Carleton, and Mac, and they all seemed great but Carleton and Mac definitely seemed much more hippie/"alt"/granola than St. Olaf which came across as more...conventional? I don't know. Not conventional in the business major-frat-jock type -- definitely didn't get those vibes -- but just more "down to earth-middle of the road-pragmatic midwesterner" type. Probably stems from the fact that St. Olaf does, in fact, have more midwesterners than the other two.

Also, big difference in locations between Mac and Carleton/St. Olaf: Mac is in the heart of the Twin Cities (albeit in a pretty residential area but just a stone's throw from all the restaurants/theaters/bars/shops/etc. one could possibly desire) whereas Northfield, where Carleton and St. Olaf is, is a small, bucolic-feeling town about an hour outside of the cities.

Make sure to visit any of the three in January or February before committing :)  [/quote]

These comments are very accurate and helpful - even better than mine. St. Olaf is pretty isolated - there are no bars or restaurants or coffee shops near campus. It is a 30 min walk to town and the bus service is lousy. Don't expect to be getting off campus much. [/quote]
