Nothing Wrong
There's really not much wrong with the school's strictness. Sometimes I wished my freshman dorm smelled less like pot, but what are you going to do about that? I never really had a run-in with the law, though, so I don't know.

Tickets Suck
You really don't need a car at Macalester, but sometimes it gets you places faster than walking (sometimes). I think St. Paul makes literally all of their money through parking fines, though. Tickets are way expensive, and sometimes unwarranted.

Sometimes You Gotta Deal With Hipsters
I've definitely enjoyed my time at Macalester, socially and academically, but man, sometimes the dynamics of 2,000 socially conscious, self-reflexive nerds can be a little much. To quote a friend of mine, "If it were impossible to compliment yourself through a seemingly self-deprecating statement, Macalester students would lose like 50% of their means of communication." Not saying I don't love it, but it's a thing you have to get used to. Also, self-righteous hipsters. But seriously, these are my only complaints.
