[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really feel like the MN schools sound like good fits for my DS but the winter thing is just too overwhelming. He does not like the cold weather, sigh. I wish there were schools like Carleton or Macalester in the south! [/quote]

The cold is real but I think people in the east don’t appreciate how sunny the winters are in Minnesota. For a kid who is ok with bundling up but just kind of shuts down on dreary days, there’s a real benefit to the upper Midwest over places like Ann Arbor/Ithaca. [/quote]

Agree. Winter in Minnesota is cold as hell, but sunny. My niece and nephew are both at Carleton and love it and are having a great experience. They are private east coast school kids that I would describe as preppy and outgoing and have large friend groups. I mention this because Carleton had a reputation for being very quirky when I went to college in the 1990s. Academics are obviously good.

St. Olaf is exceptional for music. Obviously academically it isn't in the same league as Carleton, but it would still be a solid education.

Northfield is a great town and it's as easy drive to MSP for flights.
