What are some stereotypes about Carleton students?

Kids are a bit nerdy or weird.

Are the stereotypes accurate?

While I have found this to be true many times it is normally in a good way. Every kid at Carleton has something I like to call Carleton Awkward. Everyone is just a little bit weird, but it works out in a wonderful way. People have skills that you would never expect.

Carleton: The Big Picture

Carleton is a school for those looking to succeed in life and have a passion about learning. So many students are so driven about their academics. This is balanced however by the students love of having fun. There isn't another school around that mixes academics and fun together as well as Carleton does.

Carleton Academic Life

Class can be hard but most teachers are excellent. Carleton has a very positive and supportive atmosphere of learning. Teachers are always around and willing to help but the greatest resource may be working with other students at the school.

Carleton's Student Body

Like I said before Carleton Awkward. Everyone is a little different or unique and it makes for a wonderful environment. Everyone is accepted for who they are. I can say that sometimes there are cliques but the cliques all intermingle and get along very well.

Carleton Student Activities + Social Life

Crazy weekend and weekday nights. When people aren't studying they are all about going out and having a good time. Carleton has a wet campus so you can drink just about anywhere. Everyone is amazed with how much is allowed at Carleton. This is because with the level of highly intelligent students the school doesn't feel the need to babysit like they do at other schools.

Carleton Naked Truth

Carleton may be a little weird, a little cold but in the end I have loved every second of it. The people are what makes Carleton so amazing.
