Favortie traditions???
What is the alcohol policy?
What is Burton? The Arb? The Rec Center?

Thanks :))

Northfield is home to the Malt-O-Meal factory, so there is a pleasant scent of cereal in the air. Especially nice when they are making chocolate cereal.

Alcohol is permitted (for those of legal age), except on sub-free floors. https://apps.carleton.edu/handbook/community/?policy_id=21793

Burton is one of the dorms. The Arb is the campus arboretum, which has several hiking trails and covers over 800 acres, consisting of both woods and prairie. The Rec Center is just what you think - the recreation center - indoor track, gym, climbing wall, etc.

Traditions are numerous - https://apps.carleton.edu/campus/campact/traditions/
