Why did you choose to attend this school:

I attended SWP, a high school summer writing program host at Carleton. We ate in the dining halls, lived in the residents halls, and really enjoyed the collaborative learning process. I really envisioned myself as a happy college student at Carleton, so I applied!

What are some of you thoughs for life after Carleton?

I really want to study library science in college and work and teach at a college.

What is a traditon which is unique to Carleton?

  Recognize this hall where weekly guest
lectures speak with Carleton community
members. This was the location
for the food fight scene
in Mighty Ducks 3.
Admittedly I haven't seen it,

The bust of a poet was taken/stolen from it's perch on campus. His nickname is Schiller, and he has been spotted all over the world. Schiller has dangled from a helicopter, visited the set of The Hobbit, and was on the Colbert Report.
