Good Food, but Little Selection
The food offered is typically of a high quality, but menus repeat often/lack variety, and some of the best meals (more expensive) are only available on a monthly basis. A meal plan is still well worth the money for first and even second year students, but anyone who lives off-campus would find better deals shopping for themselves.

Great Girls and Guys but Not the Prettiest
Both girls and guys at Macalester are often very attractive due to their intelligence, interests, and passions. There is a great depth of personality in both demographics. However, if aesthetics are your only interest than you might find yourself disappointed. There are of course some girls and guys that are very physically attractive, but most students are "normal" looking - not supermodels. Still, students tend to take care of themselves, dress well (if hipster-ish), and have a lot to offer as far as relationships.

Better Make Some Friends
Unless you have a good group of friends to hang out with/get drunk around, don't expect too much out of Macalester. There are of course some parties, and great places to go in Minneapolis if you want a night out, but the bus system is spotty at best and if you are under 21 chances are you'll have some trouble getting into the best places. The best nights tend to happen on campus, or at houses/apartments that students are renting.
