Macalester College

Macalester College (Pronounced Mu-cal-est-er; Nickname MAC) is a Liberal Arts college located in Saint Paul, MN.

Though the college itself may be small, the student population consists of 50% Chinese students, 50% International students and about 125% Hipsters.

Students often pride themselves on their self-supposed intellectual superiority, though science has yet to verify such notions. The open-mindedness of Macalester students often extends only to their own personal beliefs--objections outside the realm of "open-mindedness" are considered complete bigotry and said individuals are deemed worse than Hitler. Yes, tolerance is definitely in fool bloom at Macalester.

The college is predominantly liberal with a healthy dose of socialists and communists. Conservative view is held to a bare minimum, do to financial restraints, as well as local Saint Paul legislation prohibiting such actions.

Recently, Macalester has extended a hand to less-representative groups on campus. To encourage beneficial diversity on campus, Macalester has recently placed attractive women on affirmative action groups.

Dude: My professors at Macalester College totally opened my mind.

Bro: Yeah, Dude, like what?

Dude: (Lose Paraphrasing of the Communist Manifesto)

Bro: Is it being open-minded if you just form your mind to someone else's ideas?

Dude: You're just not open-minded. You're worse than Hitler.
