<p>1190: Thanks for clearing that up. I'm a rather social person, but I prefer dances and movies to drinking so it's good to hear that drinking's not a big deal.</p>
<p>Bumping - any other opinions?</p>
<p>Carleton is a lovely school. As far as student body and the social drinking scene it's just like any other school...if you want to you can always find someone to party with but if that's not for you there are just as many others who find other ways to entertain themselves. Northfield is a great little town, you can meet students from St. Olaf and you can head in to the Twin Cities for cultural fun. The arb is gorgeous in the fall!</p>
<p>Carleton attracts some of the same students as Oberlin, Reed, Swarthmore and U Chicago.</p>
