while american is great, the value of a liberal arts education, especially in this current climate, cannot be understated. i would do more research, though. do macalester/carleton offer a sufficient polisci program? i go to colby, and we do not have a political science major. the similar one is called “government.” would you be okay with something like that? do you want a bigger university in a big city or more remote, smaller colleges in small towns? if you haven’t already, visit as many as you can. see where you feel the most right. i agree with bill, minnesota is a bit of an underrated spot for politics. my cousin goes to the u of minnesota and was able to land a job with the chamber of commerce. ultimately, this decision is fully yours and down to where you feel the most comfortable, but in this scenario i think macalester is the best choice. good luck!
