I'm at Carleton University this year and Im in English. I absolutly love the school and despite all the terrible things im sure everyone has been hearing on the news I feel really safe here. All the profs i've had so far are really nice, but I definately suggest not taking 3 hour lectures unless your positive you can sit through them and pay attention that long.

I am highly considering it! I have been accepted to both Journalism and Public Affairs, although I will likely choose Journalism (and try to pick up a Political Science minor somewhere along the way!)
Has anyone heard anything back about the Carleton Prestige scholarships yet? And also, what are the tuition/res costs (double room, not in a suite or anything) at Carleton? The estimation they give in the book varies quite a bit. I'm just trying to figure out what would be a realistic budget to see if I really can afford to go there.

Your tuition depends on your program. The best estimate I got was 5081-6891$ and that was in the acceptance package. Just budget in for the maximum amount... that way if it's smaller then you get a nice surprise. Your room and board also depends on your meal plan, which is why the estimate was a bit screwy. Carleton has 5 meal plans that you must get along with your residence. They include complete meals and ResFlex Dollars (food credit). Plan A- 14 meals + 100 Res$ Plan B- 12 meals + 150 Res$ Plan C - 9 meals + 450 Res$ Plan D - not applicable to your situation (5 meals, 450Res$) Plan E- 19 meals The Res$ are separated in half, one half per semester. Now room plans, traditional double room: Plan A = 7247$ Plan B = 7137$ Plan C = 7112$ Plan E = 7582$ (Remember, you cannot take plan D unless you do elect to take a suite) For more information, just go to the U of Carleton site.

Carelton is really funny. They sent me my Science acceptance package by express mail on like Jan 2nd. And then when I switched to Arts, they resend the acceptance package just as soon. I'm not really considering Carleton, but I would get 13,000 in entrance scholarship over 4 years, which is a lot more than anywhere else, which is really tempting.
Good luck to anyone who's going, though.

... why don't you wanna go? ............ I'm going to be a chartered accountant, and UW happens to have the best and fastest CA program in the country. I just opened it cause it was the newest thread.

... why don't you wanna go? late but my first choice was McGill, where I got accepted. I guess Carleton was more of a sure safety school than anything.
