I’m trying to decide between these two colleges. I wouldn’t consider myself very quirky/nerdy or hipster, which seems to be the reputation of each of these schools. Heres what my concerns are: I like to have a good time and party (not too much but a decent amount). Will I get bored with the social life at carleton?
And at wesleyan I am concerned that I won’t fit in with the hipster crowd there. I’m not super into music and i don’t really want to feel much pressure to be someone who I’m not.
Can any current students help me out? thanks.
I wouldn’t worry too much about not being too much of a nerd. A nerd is a broad term that covers just about anyone with a modicum of interest in anything connected with knowledge or information. If you are not one now, you will almost certainly be one at the end of four years. That is quite simply what liberal arts colleges do: they produce nerds. By the hundreds. Hipsters are another thing entirely. There are plenty of people at Wesleyan who aren’t hipsters. You can be a proud nerd without being a hipster. 
You should post this on both the Carleton and Wesleyan boards.
I’d start out cautioning against carrying the quirky Carleton and hipster Wesleyan stereotypes to extremes. At the heart of both schools are a majority of kids (like you?) that could be totally happy at stereotypically mainstream larger universities like Northwestern or Columbia.
Boredom is not a problem at Carleton - so many choices, limited time - is. On campus clubs, parties, dances, movies, performance groups are too numerous to count. The Arb is a phenomenal resource for outdoor activities. Minneapolis-St. Paul is there if/when you want it within easy proximity of campus. Northfield may not be Chicago or NY, but that reality has for years served to reinforce a campus-centric experience that ties Carls together as few universities can - ties that continue to bind in the decades after four years of college is just a memory.
