Here are a couple of St. Olaf links to give you insight into the students:
First, the Class of 2014 Fan Page on Facebook
[St. Olaf Class of 2014 Fan Page | Facebook](Redirecting...)

Note that the comments are funny, the kids are supportive of each other and everyone was so eager to get to campus. Compare to fan pages for other schools and you will see that the St. Olaf kids lack snarkyness and any kind of mean edge that is rampant elsewhere. I mentioned this to the president of St. Olaf, and he commented that they somehow do not get the snarky, biting kind of student. He is proud that the kids are so nice, smart and cool.

Second, here is an article from last year’s (?) school newspaper trying to describe a typical St. Olaf student:

[" + artTitle.replace(“-”,“”) + " - " + “Manitou Messenger” + " - " + “Variety” + "](manitoumessenger.com)

I hope these sites help! St. Olaf is a very well run, thoughtful place. If you can’t visit the campus, at least request their literature and visit their website. They know themselves well and represent themselves very fairly in their literature, and they have one of the best college websites out there. You can check out 3 different webcams to “see” the campus and what the students look like (go under “Future Students” and look for the webcam link on the bottom right).
