<p>I am planning on applying to these three this fall. Based off of what I heard, I love Reed's student body and its very quirky, hipstery atmosphere. I believe something similar is at Grinnell, albeit less prominent. I don't know a whole lot about Carleton though. What I do know is that they have excellent academics and send a large amount of students to PhD programs. I am considering Physics. </p>
<p>For anyone who has visited / had experiences with these two schools, what is it like? I may be able to visit Grinnell and Carleton in the next year or so but Reed is probably too far to make it work.</p>
