Carlton, what's the big picture?

<p>virginiaman, you might check out these threads for some insight into how Carleton differs from other top LACs. From my perspective (mom of a rising sophomore), I think Carls tend to be more down-to-earth than students at the eastern LACs. Students are open and friendly and most seem to have a keen sense of humor. I also think that they tend to be driven by intellectual curiosity versus career goals. Granted, these are generalizations.</p>
