[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you considered Carleton or [b]Macalaster?  Mac offers merit aid[/b][/quote]

Yes, definitely look at Macalester. Lovely school in a great location that I’ve never heard anything but positive things about. My kid got the top merit aid of 25K. Got into top choice so won’t be attending, but it would have been a strong contender.[/quote]

Is this everyone else's experience also?  Interested in hearing first hand accounts.[/quote]

Macalester is my DC's #1 choice.  The school's values closely align with my DC's.  One knock on the student experience is that the cafeteria food is supposedly not great.  My DC, who visited, thinks that is a small price to pay.  DC has already been admitted to a "T20" university and "higher ranked" SLACs, but will almost certainly attend Macalester next year.

For OP:  Macalester gave DC good merit aid, although it was his #1 choice even before he got the aid.  [/quote]

FYI - Mac is changing next year requiring students to live on campus 3 years. I am not sure how they will count students who study abroad.  
But the food is really bad - it is a topic that is always discussed on the parent's facebook group due to health related issues. 
My child who is there is counting the days until they are able to live off campus due to the poor quality of food service. [/quote]

Yikes.  Did they explore transferring?[/quote]
