i think it may have to do with him not being motivated at carl - hes from new england and misses the east coast as well as the outdoors, where as minnesota has little to offer in that regard.



Are you kidding me? Missing his home region is one thing, but to say Minnesota is lacking in the outdoors is absolutely and outrageously and ignorantly inaccurate. You obviously know next to nothing about the state. Parts of the state are as mountainous and woodsy as New England, and other parts are as flat and barren as western Kansas. I think I know the parts you’ve been to and those you haven’t. I’ve LIVED in New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Maine. I’ve also LIVED in Minnesota. The state has over 10,000 friggin’ lakes of every size and description. Some would put New England lakes to shame.

Maybe the guy at Carleton is looking for something right off campus and can’t find it. Blame the town he’s in, not the whole state. New England can’t touch Minnesota for things like freshwater fishing. Not even close. And all the water sports and boating that go with it. Not to mention hiking, running from wolves and bears (LOL), camping, skiing, ice fishing. I swear, the state has more snowmobile dealerships than Honda dealerships.

Are you kidding me? I’m a native of the northeast, went to undergrad in New York. I just don’t get the east coast bias some have on CC.
