Carleton is direct to MSP, then you have to get to Northfield, either by bus or by car. It’s about a 45 minute ride, IIRC. Oberlin isn’t on my kid’s list, and we drove when I visited as a teenager, but I’m pretty sure it’s nowhere near the Cleveland airport.

Lawrence is 6 miles from ATW. For kids who are visiting, Lawrence has a list of hotels that will not only accept minors traveling alone, but will shuttle them to and from the airport and college.

I told my daughter, who is 14, that if she really didn’t want parents along, she’d have no problem getting herself to and from Lawrence independently. She’s been making connecting flights alone since she was 12; they’re easy and it’s fun to explore a new airport.

I, on the other hand, am not looking forward to the hassle of getting to Northfield to visit Grinnell. There’s no way I’d put that same kid on a direct flight to MSP and expect her to make it to Grinnell.
