There are many excellent liberal arts colleges (LACs) in the Midwest. Carleton and Lawrence are among them. My daughter is in her 2nd year at Lawrence, and my oldest son (a HS junior) and I are a few months into the college selection process right now, focusing almost exclusively on LACs, many of which are in the Midwest. One major difference between Carleton and Lawrence is that Lawrence has a music conservatory (a most excellent one). About 400 of the 1,500 students are student of the conservatory. Also, many non-music majors also have an interest in music.
