Carleton and Macalester are both excellent schools. Those considering Carleton might want to know of its slightly different academic calendar. Carleton is on the quarter system: one quarter before Christmas and two quarters after. First quarter and finals end by Thanksgiving, so students are home for approximately six weeks until after the New Year.
