In terms of academic reputation, Carleton consistently ranks among the top
five liberal arts colleges in the United States.  The College is located in
Northfield, Minnesota, a small town approximately 45 minutes south of
Minneapolis-St. Paul.  Its student body is diverse: the 500 students that
make up the current first-year class were chosen from among 4,461 applicants
from all 50 states and 27 countries.  They come to Carleton for what U.S.
News & World Report calls the college's "unusually strong commitment to
undergraduate teaching."
