It's pretty accurate, I mean, as far as a Scottish folk ballad overlaid on the college can be accurate. The geography is almost entirely accurate, and there are some lovely details - like the fact that there was actually a student production of The Revenger's Tragedy done in the right era - that you would only know if you knew the history really well.
And yes, there is a bust of Schiller that lives amongst the student body and is quite a coveted possession.
If you have questions, of course, about specific things, just ask. It's one of my favorite books even outside of the Carleton connection, and I love talking about it. <3
