Carleton College is a liberal arts college with exceptional academics. Also, rather unusually for a liberal arts school, its science departments are very strong. There is a prevailing sentiment on campus of rampant liberalism (the occasional elitist treehugger sorts and so forth), but this is easy enough to overlook. There are also tons of clubs and other activities to get involved in, plus lots of opportunity to start something of your own. The facilities are first-rate, and the professors are generally enthusiastic and involved. A worthwhile college experience.
