Macalester College is a private liberal arts school located in the heart of St. Paul, Minnesota.
“Students report that ‘there’s a really strong campus community’ and ‘professors approach teaching their given subject from numerous angles. While this may make choosing a specific major somewhat difficult, it absolutely enriches everyone’s thoughts and sparks discussion across campus about a variety of issues.’ The Institute for Global Citizenship, study abroad, and the diversity of international students make Macalester ‘a very worldly place.’ Academics are ‘taken very seriously’ and offerings ‘are top notch.’ Undergrads tend to be ‘fairly relaxed and easygoing, intelligent, high- achieving, hard-working, and unpretentious.’”- The Princeton Review
“Macalester College boasts not only a strong academic reputation, but also an uncommonly unified spirit of social and political awareness.” Colleges with a Conscience selected Mac as a school that “has both an administration committed to social responsibility and an active engaged student body…where education isn’t only about private gain; it’s also about the public good.” “One student explains, ‘People who come here have a purpose. They know how to commit to a community and engage themselves in meaningful work.’”- Colleges With A Conscience
