Computers Good, Printers Bad
Computer labs are plentiful on campus -- you can find one in pretty much any academic building. Macs are more widespread than PCs, but both can be found. You can get wireless for your laptop almost anywhere, though it's spotty in some of the dorms. The printing situation could be better; you often have to run between 2-3 different buildings before you find a printer that isn't malfunctioning.

Northfield Is Small
Dining options in town are very limited. The food is nothing to complain about -- Hogan Bros. has awesome sandwiches, El Triunfo's Mexican food is great, there's a Chapati and a couple of Chinese restaurants, plus your usual fast food -- but you run out of options pretty quickly.

All Kinds of Excellent
The student body is full of the most interesting, fun, intelligent people I've ever met. Everyone has something that they're really passionate about, so the range of clubs and extracurriculars is impressive for such a small school. Carleton has a trimester system, which makes it easy to study abroad for a term and still complete everything you need to graduate on time. One of the school's best features is the Arb, a vast expanse of forest and restored prairie that lets you escape everything and enjoy nature at any time.
