My time at Carleton so far has been a mix of feelings because there are so many aspects of the university that I both appreciate and despise. The school has a lot of locations and spaces where students may study or even hang out with friends, which is one of the things I like about it. You can even have the entire classroom to yourself to study in after lecture hours! Additionally, the residents of Carleton are quite friendly and foster a strong sense of community. The buildings’ lack of life is one of the things I dislike about it. I find the buildings to be rather haphazard and notice that each one has a distinctive aged appearance. However, ultimately, the university is a fantastic setting for growth.
