[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pleasantly surprised by Carleton. Almost didn't visit because of the location and because DD had several other colleges she liked and felt pretty settled on for ED1 and ED2 after touring colleges all over the country, but Carleton bewitched all of us and shot to her new ED1.

Can you share more what you liked? It's at the top of my junior's list, but we haven't been able to visit yet.[/quote]

Yes - lovely campus and facilities with beautiful natural surroundings and a great college town, but we were impressed most with the friendly and collaborative student climate alongside rigorous academics. Our tour guides were calling out "hello" to their professors while we walked around, students were studying in groups together everywhere we went on campus and in town coffeeshops, and every student we talked with raved about their professors, their classes, and how challenged but supported they feel. Our DD attended a class and lunch with a student as well as a club sports practice and felt that the rigorous but friendly and collaborative atmosphere was prevalent throughout. I started silently rooting for Carleton halfway through the visit and was thrilled when she announced her decision. [/quote]
