Admissions Blog Campus in the Spring

If you haven’t had a chance to visit campus (especially before the May 1st deadline!), you’re probably wondering what it looks like to walk around Carleton’s as a student. Well, you’ve seen photos of the campus in the fall and the snow in the winter, but I don’t think Carleton gets enough appreciation in the spring. So here are some photos of campus that I took while walking around this week.

The Walk to Classes

As a history major, I spend a lot of time in Leighton Hall (and I’ve never seen it so beautiful!)
Anderson in the spring
Anderson is home to most of the lab sciences!

I didn’t noticed these pink trees until this spring!

I’ve seen so many bunnies every single day

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blooming Trees!

Sunsets

The Lyman Lakes are a great place to see the sunset on a clear day

Even right after sunset, the lakes are so picturesque

You can also find spots on campus to catch a beautiful sunset too

 

As you can see, spring term at Carleton is full of growth and new life! As the weather begins to get warmer, people are spending more time outside. It’s really just a beautiful place to be.

Kate (she/her) is a junior History  and Theater double major from the Bay Area, California. She loves Carleton’s artsy community, and is involved in the Vocal Studies Program and occasionally the Experimental Theater Board when her fight choreography skills are in high demand. Kate’s favorite places on campus are the practice rooms, either in Myers or the Weitz, where she can sing or play the ukulele. She loves the campus during all the seasons but thinks nothing could compare to the beautiful colors of Northfield in the fall. When not in class, you can find Kate either petting the nearest cat or forcing her friends to watch bad movies in a study room.
