<p>If StO seems like a really good fit for your son, Carleton will be an awful fit. They are polar opposites. That said, I was there this past Friday for a football recruiting visit (my parents went there so trust me I know the place) and it was full of students. What state are you from? If from MN, may I suggest going down there over MEA when kids will be bustling and hustling, and you get to see the beautiful fall on campus?</p>
