[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC is currently at Carleton and loves it. The academics are hard, and the trimester system (3 ten week terms) means the pace of work is fast. The professors are great (they consistently get top ranks for teaching) and DC gets a lot of personal attention. There are a variety of students but I think it’s fair to say that this is a great place for students who have random interests to find people who are interested in hearing about those interests. It’s not a big party school, but lots of socializing, often in smaller groups. I feel like it’s a very kind community, and the kids are supportive and not competitive. My DC jokes that it’s full of a lot of quirky, awkward kids but they aren’t unpleasant or antisocial. I feel like my DC has actually become way more confident and social there because they have been validated by peers and faculty and less afraid of being judged. It’s cold. The Arb is a great asset for outdoors activities.  It’s pretty balanced by gender, and definitely skews politically liberal but overall the students are pretty respectful of opposing views. The school is financially well resourced. I was impressed with how they have navigated Covid. I’m sure there are areas for improvement but so far it’s been a great experience for my DC. [/quote]

This has been my DC’s experience also.  I have been impressed by DC’s access to professors.  They seem to go out of their way to make themselves available to students and get to know them.  The trimester system is something to consider.  The pace of the semester is very fast and intense.  [/quote]
