What do you consider the worst thing about St Olaf College? Why?

Lucy

The location. While it is indescribably beautful here, it's also sort of isolated. There are plenty of opportunities to go to Minneapolis/St. Paul, but it's such a hassle that I usually don't bother. And while the town is pleasant, it'd be nice to see an honest-to-god city once in a while. Plus, I don't do well with the harsh winters :)

The worst thing about St. Olaf is higher standared they have for education. Nothing is ever too good so you have to give it everything you have to do well.

Sometimes the community feels too small if you are not actively in the inner circle. And beyond freshman and sophomore year, it is difficult to break into that group.

The worst thing about St.Olaf is the academic pressure. I think that there is a lot of pressure to push yourself as hard as possible academically and all the professors have very high expectations. This is great for the most part because it pushes you as a student to learn as much as possible, but it also can be a burden at times to live up to all the expectations.
