[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child visited Mac and Carleton last spring and walked away feeling like Carleton was too remote but seemed much stronger academically. The Macalester presentation and panel both leaned hard on the *lack* of academic rigor, which felt weird for a presentation happening with parents in the room. It seems lovely, and I know some really happy graduates, but for the price tag I would like my child to learn something. If I just wanted them to make friendships in a global environment, they could stay here in DC and go to Montgomery College. [/quote] +1! We toured Macalester and the tour guide made a point of saying if you were up until midnight doing homework you should talk to your professor about it because you really should not have to work that hard! Total turn off for all of us; not only because my kid wants to learn, but also does not want to be surrounded by slackers.[/quote]
