<p>If you like your Uggs I would advise you not to bring them here unless you’re prepared for them to take a beating. After two months, they’re all a similar shade of gray…no matter what color they were to begin with. </p>
<p>I would agree that Carleton is not a fashionista school, but there is a good-sized population of girls (in general, it seems like most of them are from the East Coast) who get very dressed up to come to class every day. Like, fashionable skirts, tights, and those high-heeled bootie things. That was one of the things I wasn’t expecting about Carleton…maybe the whole “ugly students” thing was true in past years, but there are a lot of people here who do put effort into their appearance (not to say that if you don’t, you’re ugly–far from it–just that that kind of behavior is so dramatically different from what you’d expect given Carleton’s reputation). Maybe the ugliness rumor was started by the Carls themselves. They probably thought it was funny.</p>
