<p>Please state any reasons why you applied to or attended Macalester.</p>
<p>I applied to Macalester because i know it will give me an experience that will forever change how i see myself and the world. Its location in Minnesota is attractive for me because i want to experience how the world really is besides Southern California.</p>
<p>I originally considered Macalester because it has an outstanding program in anthropology and was located in a large city, but I applied because it has a reputation of offering a great quality of life and strong LGBT acceptance.</p>
<p>do you currently attend the school?</p>

<p>I chose Mac for such a variety of reasons. The Twin Cities offer a great atmosphere, Mac has great vegetarian food, lots of tree huggers, excellent humanities program, hella diversity. Overall, it was really the only school I could picture myself at.</p>
<p>Macalester has a rich tradition of focusing on global issues and global community and is the perfect place for a politically-minded activist like myself to learn and get involved.</p>
