<p>I'm an international student thinking of applying to Mac. Could someone please tell me something about the campus area, dorms, caf, library, town, MN or anything else. I've been on the website several times but I'd like other people's opinions. Thanks</p>
<p>Well... let's see. The Macalester campus is nice, I really like their science building and they just finished building a new athletic facility that looks amazing, but I haven't been inside yet. </p>
<p>The dorms I don't have much experience with since I wasn't actually a student at Macalester (I went to a nearby college and took a class at Mac).</p>
<p>The Caf is really nice, a lot of good food from local growers and very environmentally friendly. The food is good.</p>
<p>I've only been inside the library once but it seemed pretty nice.</p>
<p>The location of Macalester is really nice. It's right on Grand Avenue which is a great place, there a lot of little shops and cafes. It's definitely a good location for Macalester.</p>
<p>The state of Minnesota... umm.... I like it, haha. It gets pretty cold in the winter, but it's nothing too bad. The Twin Cities are really great and it's not hard to use the bus system to get there.</p>
