A-
Pretty Great, Not Perfect
Macalester academics are generally very serious in the best way possible--a general lack of bull****, good/great discussion when discussion is needed, great academic resources, accessible professors, a range of majors, well thought out requirements, easy registration. This is little bit like a list of buzzwords but from my limited experience that's pretty much the case, the A- is because of a few notable exceptions to these rules not because of any kind of systematic problem. It's about as good as a college (liberal arts college) can be.

Mad Underrated
Crazy awesome music scene, lots of neat culture (art and theatre all over the place), I don't shop but that seems fine too, lakes and **** everywhere. Cons are that it can be hard to "get into things" in the Twin Cities since there isn't much go-to well-known stuff. Downsides: public transportation is not the best it could be, the cold, and the deadness of downtown at certain times.

Good Food, No Variety
There's actually a good deal of day-to-day variety at Cafe Mac but over time it all starts to taste pretty similar--good, but similar. I like it for the most part, though I wish the Grille had better hours.
