[quote=Anonymous]If you think your kid might want to work in the Twin Cities, going to any of these three schools is a really good thing. Will they ricochet back to the DMV? UVA may be a better option. My kid has a few friends at St.Olaf doing physics. The Lutheran church actually funds scholarships every year for physics majors, $10K awards, which was unexpected to hear about. Chemistry instruction seems strong, with access to equipment I never got to use at my large university, like NMRs. I think that is shared with Carleton, and Carleton hosts a fancy shared microscope? Not sure of the particulars, but there is some sort of agreement. My kid has dined at the Carleton cafeteria, because they use the same company and swipe cards work at both. You can take a class there, but with their trimester system it gets complicated. I think there was a joint symposium for kids who did summer research? But no, not a lot of mixing socially.[/quote]
