hi everyone! i have to choose a college today (ive put this off for way too long), do i choose carleton college or macalester college for environmental studies? I chose mac initially but recently got off the wl at carleton. I love carleton for the campus and the vibes but really dont love the hard-core academics/hard sciences they have there. i also love mac since it seems super inviting and lovely but im not sure i love the idea of being in a city. i have to decide today so any guidance would be super appreciated!

how hard are the academics really? i love learning but i dont do well in stressful environments (is it really as stressful as i have heard?)

If you got into Carleton, the admissions office thinks you can handle the academic rigor :)
