Off-Topic Discussion from "Colleges Crossed Off List or Moved Up After Visiting"

I was so curious to read what your kiddo liked about Carleton. Unfortunately when we were there the students were on Spring Break. There were two students who gave a tour, but we really got nothing out of it that was any different than any other college tour. We didn’t get to go in the student center, I can’t even remember any details about anything we saw and it was just last month. We had just come from St. Olaf where there were still students and that made a world of difference. My DD took Carleton off her list and didn’t apply. But a friend whose daughter goes there later told me that when her kiddo toured both schools she felt that the kids at Carleton seemed nicer. We are still waiting for Macalester and Vassar transfer results. Not holding my breath about Vassar because she was waitlisted last year there. But Macalester has been very communicative.
