I go to Carleton College, which is in the same town as St. Olaf. I can’t really confirm much about Olaf’s academics, obviously, but I do know that academically it isn’t ranked as highly as many of the other schools where you’re looking. It’s also (somewhat) religious. However, Northfield is a great town, and the people in Minnesota - and the Midwest - are amazingly friendly (I come from a grumpy East Coast town, so this was pleasantly surprising). the town is cute, you’re close to the city, and the weather isn’t too unbearable - we’ve actually had a very mild fall.
