Events for admitted students

VIEW STUDENT PANEL: LIFE AT MACALESTER
Something that really helped me adjust to college and holding myself accountable to doing my work was spending more time in academic buildings…I will say I found it manageable, honestly more manageable than in high school, to go rowing on the Mississippi, come back, eat dinner with friends, go home and get a bit of work done and go to sleep at a reasonable time.

VIEW WELCOME AND ACADEMIC PANEL
..being in an urban environment is absolutely amazing because we are in a city with some of the best museums in the nation. The Minneapolis Institute of Art is a 20 minutes bus ride away…we go over to MIA and we’re able to do a mid-term review…

VIEW STAFF PANEL: HOW TO CONNECT ON CAMPUS
One of our most popular student organizations on campus is called Outing Club and that’s an outdoor education and exploration student organization that’s student run…there’s something called the Outdoor Gear Room…students can check out gear, anything from snow shoes to backpacks to tents to gas stoves and a lot of trips are facilitated by Outing Club…

VIEW PARENT PANEL
…she feels for the first time that she can be her authentic self and for a parent that is probably the best thing you can hear…and it’s not just the friends and the relationships. but it’s also the academics, she can’t stop talking about the classes and what’s she’s doing…and I think she feels this re-ignited passion for learning.
– Macalester Parent

VIEW Q&A WITH FINANCIAL AID
For students who decide to attend Macalester, in mid-May they’ll receive access to the New Student Portal…from the financial aid perspective, when they get that portal, they have access to accept or decline the loans they’ve been offered and they have access to apply for student employment jobs if it’s part of their financial aid package.
