<p>Just got my letter today saying I was accepted to go, and I'm pretty excited about it :D</p>

<p>Has anyone else gotten a reply yet?</p>

2

<p>Same! I got mine two days ago, I can’t wait!! :slight_smile: This is the only way I could’ve gone to visit their campus, I’m so thrilled. Can’t wait to finally know what they mean about the delicious Malt-O-Meal smell. :P</p>

<p>Do you by any chance know in what halls they usually have us prospies stay at during overnight visits?</p>

<p>Woo! someone else is going too! I was starting to think I was alone in this :stuck_out_tongue: haha
I’m not even sure what Malt-O-Meal is, but I guess I’ll find out!</p>

<p>But I really have no idea what dorms they put us in. My best guess is that we stay in whatever dorm our host is in</p>

<p>Haha, I believe it’s this delicious smell that comes from the Malt-O-Meal cereal factory near Carleton.
I remember seeing a thread from last year’s Taste of Carleton students: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/carleton-college/992418-taste-carleton-d.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/carleton-college/992418-taste-carleton-d.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Aaah, I’m so happy! :D</p>

<p>The smell reminds me of puppy chow…the kind with crispix cereal covered in chocolate, peanut butter, and powdered sugar.</p>

<p>When the wind blows in the other direction, however, it’s quite a different story. :smiley: But you’ll find out when you get here.</p>

<p>CandlesOnFire, you’ll probably stay in any of the dorms, barring Memo and Evans. Host students are usually freshman and sophomore volunteers. I’d chance a guess that you’re most likely to end up in Goodhue, Musser, or Myers, but a lot of prospies end up in Burton, Nourse, and (to a lesser extent) Cassat and Davis. You may get a host in Evans or Memorial, but it’s pretty unlikely.</p>

<p>Well now I’m even more stoked about this visit! I just got my flight confirmations today :)</p>

<p>I’m really excited to possibly meet those of you who have posted here, and many others!</p>

<p>On average, about how many people attend TOC?</p>

<p>Puppy chow? See, this is why I wish sometimes I’d had a dog. And I’m not sure I want to know what happens when the wind blows the other way, you sounded quite ominous, mflevity :o
Thanks reesez, I’ll look more into those particular dorms.
I think around 40-50ish people go each year, I feel like I read that somewhere.</p>

<p>There’s also an FB group for Taste of Carleton 2011! :smiley:
