Carleton College Admissions

I have participated in a bunch of Carleton traditions, and I'm not done yet. I've gone traying down Bell Field and played with Toff, the campus cat, but by far the most exciting was when my friends got the bust of Schiller and I was there to scheme with them at 3:00 a.m. about how to show it next.

My favorite tradition is the "Primal Scream." At 10:00pm the night before finals starts, everybody is supposed to stick their heads out the windows and scream at the top of their lungs. It's quite bone-chilling. Froshies, remember to scream the night before finals! Keep the dream alive!

My comps [senior comprehensive project] topic will probably examine the impact of China's invasion and occupation on the religious, ethnic, and political lives of Tibetans. From here the topic seems dauntingly large and complex, and I'm curious to see where my interests and previous study will take me within it. For my Environmental Studies capstone project I want to look at land management in National Parks. The relationship between conservation, preservation, and fair access to our Parks is really engaging, and I want to think more about ways in which they can all interact, rather than being mutually exclusive aims.
