Isp, I live in St Paul, just a couple of blocks from the Mac campus. I’m pretty familiar with all 3 schools, and know faculty and students at each.

As a non-religious, liberal parent, the first time I visited St Olaf, I didn’t expect to like it much - but I loved it!!! Ditto for D; it’s her favorite of the 3 schools. (She wouldn’t consider Mac because it is so close, and Carlton turned her off because IB/AP doesn’t buy you anything there.) So by all means visit all 3 schools when you are here.
