Choosing between Macalester and Connecticut College for Biology

Having gone to school in both locations, there is no comparison. The Twin Cities are vibrant, full of things to do, young people, internships. New London is a depressed and isolated town. The best thing about it is the Amtrak station. We used to call it “Patheticut.” Macalester has the Ordway nature preserve a few miles from campus and an excellent environmental studies department. It has always been ranked much higher than Conn.
