A student we know majored in economics at Carlton and had really good internships, one at DLA Piper Law in Los Angeles, over a quarter he took off. He did the Carlton London study abroad summer and he could take three classes in London and travel, and keep on track to graduate. Thats why he took spring quarter to work at a law firm, instead of go to school. He landed at a good economic consulting firm in Boston after graduation , and done very well in his career.
He loved Carlton and met his girlfriend there too!
His younger brother is now at Carlton, trying to follow a similar path. Carlton has some fun traveling sports teams like Ultimate frisbee.
Carlton is very rigorous academically, and just the right distance to the Twin Cities, for weekend trips.
Minnesota gets polar vortex weather every few winters but not every single winter. That means 20 below zero daytime temperatures for about a week.
