Carleton Students & Faculty on Life Beyond Carleton

  Colin MacArthur '12 says:
  I've been on two Carleton off-campus study programs. I studied German in Berlin fall of sophomore year, and cross-cultural psychology in Prague fall of junior year. By far the most memorable experience was climbing a peak in the high Tatras of Slovakia with my psychology program compatriots. The views were spectacular and despite hiking for 6-8 hours straight, my fellows were extremely cheerful.

  Scott Carpenter (faculty) says:
  I chose Carleton for the thrill of working with exciting colleagues on the most ambitious project of all: training the next generation of leaders in all walks of life. (Goodness knows we're going to need them!)

• Jane Cobler '98 says:
  Who you know matters (and Carleton grads love to help). You'll always be proud to say you went there.
• Laura Glander '84 says:
  Carleton taught me to try new things in a supportive environment. My Carleton education shaped me for life - the many jobs I've had (including parenthood) and for the many adventures I've undertaken.

• Tricia England '08 says:
  I credit Carleton with helping me to cultivate a self in which I enjoy living.
• Emily Muirhead McAdam '08 says:
  The people I met (and continue to meet) through Carleton have taught me that there are a million different paths you can take in life, and you can find happiness and a sense of fulfillment going down any number of them, so long you continue to challenge yourself and remain open to change.
• Stacey Pelika '96 says:
  Because of Carleton I know that I'll always be part of a community of people who work to understand and improve the world but don't take themselves too seriously while doing it. ‎(And that Carleton people are so drawn to the same types of communities that you may well find yourself unintentionally - but happily! - living in an apartment building in which four tenants all lived in the same dorm almost 20 years ago!)

• Leah Golden '86 says:
  The place where I learned how to learn. My Carleton education has allowed me pathways to whatever direction I care to go.
• Cassie Funke-Harris '05 says:
  Carleton taught me how to learn, how to question the ways of the world, and how to laugh at myself.
• Kimberly Jehle '03 says:
  Carleton opened the lens through which I view the world, provided me tools critical to making a difference in it, and introduced me to amazing friends with whom I get to share it all with!
• Margi Youmans '06 says:
  Carleton opened my eyes to entirely new areas, like Latino studies and anthropology. The beauty of a liberal arts education is that it gives you permission to experiment and explore. I ended up in a field I loved.
