<p>I wouldn’t say Minneapolis is easily accessible from Carleton unless you have a car. Correct me if I’m wrong. I have never been there. My son visited his good friend at Carleton and found it to be a real hassle to get to the campus from the airport. He had to pay for a shuttle ride that cost $40 each way and took over an hour. The college offers its own airport shuttle only on holidays/breaks. If you want easy access to a city, U of Chicago is your school.</p>
