"What was your Carleton major, and what are you doing today?" That's the question we posed over on the Carleton College Facebook page. Here's how our alumni answered.

In this week's Carletonian (the Carleton student newspaper), staff writer Cristina Sainati interviews three freshmen about their first impression of Carleton.

Get to know three Carleton freshmen.

We invite you to join us at Carleton College during Falling for Carleton, our fall open house days on Thursday, October 15 and Friday, October 16.

These days are a great time to see Carleton's campus, ask questions of current students and faculty members, and learn more about the college and the application process.

Learn more and see the open house schedule.

NBC KARE-11 featured Carleton College and its generous financial aid program during the July 1st 10 o'clock news broadcast as part of its weekly segment, "Take KARE of your money." The piece featured Carleton students Kai Knutson '11 (Bloomington, Minn.), Beserat Kelati '12 (Houston, Texas) and Steve Merry '10 (Dellwood, Minn.), along with Jennifer Hantho, senior associate dean of admissions.

"The state university that I was planning to go to didn't give me any financial aid," Kelati said in the segment. "A lot of the private liberal arts colleges provided me with the best financial aid. I decided to come to Carleton because it was one of the best that I had received."
