Is it possible to visit any of them?

My daughter is a junior at Carleton, where it would probably be easiest for you if you are unsure of major. Majors are not declared until the end of the sophomore year, so you have plenty of time to decide what direction you want to take. The trimester system makes it possible to do two study abroad programs (daughter is an IR major - has studied Political Economy in Europe and will do Francophone Studies in Mali next year). One of the big selling points for my daughter was that Carleton students are, by and large, happy.

Good luck with your decision - you have great options!
