My experience at Macalester has been full of opportunities. Learning at Mac is fun and engaging.
I would describe education here as collaborative.
I would describe the students as diverse, compassionate, driven, and thought provoking.
Lifelong learners and global changemakers.
The students at Macalester are incredibly committed, earnest care a lot about the world about making the world better about making the campus community better.
As a Tour Guide, there's a question I get a lot from students like what's a typical Macalester student? And I think it's good that I have no answer for that, because you don't have to fit a mold to come here.
You have people coming from all different backgrounds, from different countries around the world. And it's really something special to see all that come together in one place.
Definitely what surprised me about Macalester was kind of how collaborative everything is. It definitely feels like people are working together rather than against each other. And classes are just fun.
With the liberal arts nature that we have here, it gives people the freedom to really explore a variety of their passions, that kind of way. So you can really pursue a different path. There really is no one the Macalester experience. I've had multiple Macalester experiences and all the four years I've been here!
